Re: “NDP has history of helping Tories stifle Greens,” online, Sept. 10.
Regarding Geoff Olson’s column, Harper did not win a majority in 2008. The Conservatives won 137 seats, 18 short of a majority.
Olson laments the fact that there are so many left and centre left parties already, yet rants against “Canada’s bottomlessly stupid first-past-the-post voting system.” If Canada were to adopt a proportional representation voting system, we would have even more parties and wind up with a dysfunctional parliament like Israel’s Knesset.
No thank you!
