That might be how you think it should be, but it's not that way at all. Canadians have been voting for the party for many decades.

Teach them then. I always ask candidates who they'll vote to be PM.

Good luck with that, you'll need it.

At that point the politicians might have an incentive to actually be honest, too. As it is, it's all soundbites and photo ops, because voters aren't paying attention to the details.

But it is how our system is designed. Yes everyone votes for part which means we should change our system. Just go dull proportional representation x seats x percentage of votes gives you your seat count.

Who cares that it's designed this way, we don't have founding daddy issues in this country. If we want we can redesign it.
