Speaking as a Canadian heading into our third federal election in 5 or 6 years, I am getting increasingly fed up with the consequences of a "first past the post" system here in Canada. It keeps producing results at odds with the expressed will of those who show up to vote, you see.
And when the subject of coalition government as an option comes up over here, the Harper Conservatives keep damning it as illegitimate if not illegal. Which, given the examples provided by the UK, Israel and Italy - among other nations - is patently ridiculous.
