    I don’t really think that’s the case. If you live in an exceptionally partisan area then there’s little impact to voting.

        Right, but this is a Canadian community about the recent Canadian election. The voting system is assumed.

        In my riding, if you only had the option of liberal or conservative and a 100% turnout we would still have elected the same blue brick for the 4th time.

        Usually this just means I get to vote for whatever party I like the platform enough of/like the leader.

          I mean we’ve got the same system in the UK tbh.

          It’s shite, and most of the time you can get a donkey in power if you stick the right colour rosette on it, but last election we did see seats change power that had been held for a century.

          I’m not really prepared to shoot anybody to get change. Voting is all we’ve got.
