Voting Is (lie essence of a democracy. In theory, it allows (lie people to decide what kind of gov- ernment they want to run their country. Unfortunately, in Caniida, how people vote doesn't always relied what they get. In Canada's current electoral system, commonly known as rir.st- past-the-post voting, ballots are cast to elect an Ml1 in a specific riding. If tile person you voted for is not .elected, your vote will not affect where their party .sits in (lie stand- ings. Many feel tills is a wasted vote. Only (lie voters who support (lie most popular party in their riding win and get to send an MP to parlia- ment. According to Fair Vote Canada, a lobby group campaign- ing for voting system reform, around 6,000,000 Canadians, or just under lialf of voters, cast wasted votes. For example, in the 2004 federal election, over a half-million Green Party voters across Canada elected no one at all while fewer than a half- million Liberal voters in Atlantic Canada alone elected 22 MPs. Over 2 million NDP voters elected only 19 MPs when fewer than 1.7 million Bloc voters elected 54 MPs.
