people are bitching because technically the left wing parties got more than 50% of the vote, so they think that means the pc should not be in charge
How does low voter turnout lead to Liberal victories?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't actually know why turnout was so low in the last decade
Pika, America is like half of that
I am aware
I wonder what the federal turnout is
36% for us last midterms
this is canada federally
Pika, did Canada spend 4 BILLION on this election like we did last midterm?
of course not
Probably a couple million?
Fucking hell
double digit millions each party except liberals
oh and ndp
You guys spent less than 1% of what we did
of course we did
Pika, we spent 7-8 billion in 2016
how long is the campaigning season in the states
It never ends
eactly
Not a joke
for the ontario election, it was like 3 months?
federally it is like 5-6 months?
So, primary spending is going on now
in my area alone, it's estimated the spending will be 30 million
For the primaries
also corporations and unions cannot donate to parties in ontario
That's choosing who will get the honour of spending the big bucks for the next 5 months, leading up to the real election
and this is the amount given by the government to each party
In America, they're limited as well Pika
based on seats held
>limited
They can only donate $5k or whatever
can't donate shit all
here
Pika, if every company in America donated $5k, it'd be a couple million at most
That's not where the money comes from
fair enough
but yeah
you guys have retarded elections
We have great elections
canadian elections are always so much more tame
They're just broken
oh, they are fun to watch
We like them
Not even as a shitshow or anything
We like our elections
We just hate that so much money gets spent
>likes elections, has half the turnout of canada
Kappa
Pika
America is land of the safe seats
Our elections aren't competitive really
Mind you, people should all vote
Pika, I wan't to point out that site is kind of shit
trie
we were talking about promises the cuck broke and it was a quick way to look some shit up
If they're spliting hairs over 31% and 31.1%
