Second election in a row where the conservatives had way more votes and lost the election.

Technically 250,000 votes did not matter and Trudeau still got in.

Notice the NDP had over twice as many votes as the Bloc and still the Bloc has more seats.

Every time I look at the numbers it just does not make sense to me.
 
I feel like if it was a popular vote that is more unfair. As you can see from the results the turnout was one of the lowest in the last 10 years. So if one location has many voters supporting in one direction it really can make a difference for the entire country if it’s a popular vote. For example in my area it’s not even close. There was like 10,000 more votes than the runner up. If it was a popular vote it almost makes those other areas that are close irrelevant.

For that reason I don’t mind the system that much.
