So, just for the record - do they have that much of an upper hand with these seating arrangements?

So - as I ask this question a third time, because I'm honestly curious.. Why kind of benefits does Harper really have with these seat distributions?

The NDP candidate that was in Vegas for the bulk of the campaign, was elected.

What does that tell you about the NDP voters in that riding?

All you con supporters have to slow down for a minute and look at only 40% of the popular vote, that means 60% of the people still don't want Harpo running the show. This is a prime indication of why we badly need electoral reform in this country, 40% is hardly a true mandate from the masses.

Because they paid the bills so the stupid young ****s could grow old enough to vote too?

the only bills you're paying are medical bills for your broken hip old man, while those young people paying taxes for your health insurance , gtfo.

Oh suck it up buttercup. Stop yer whining.

I'm sure you'd be whistling a different tune if your party dujour was on its way to a majority.

Enough to run the country...

Is it guaranteed that every conservative member in parliament will vote the same?

And wouldn't a higher percentage of NDP seats mean a much tougher sell to win the vote on bills?
