here 's an idea for graphic or meme
a pipeline or sausage-maker or funnel or some kind of converter machine like that (like the "funhouse mirror" idea)
mixture goes in one side and only one thing (or very un-balanced mixture) comes out the other end
Perhaps
if the election was a pipeline, it would have lots of leakage
graphic would show
59 parts Conservative 21 parts NDP 11 parts Liberal 7 parts People's Party 1 part Green
going in
and 14 Conservative MPs coming out the other end.
OR
Our elections use a strange recipe:
Saskatchewan Political Lasagna:
Mix together these votes:
59 parts Conservative 21 parts NDP 11 parts Liberal 7 parts People's Party 1 part Green
What comes out of the oven: 14 Conservative MPs
Toronto Area Political Gumbo:
Mix together these votes
49 parts Liberal 31 parts Conservative 15 parts NDP 4 parts People's Party 2 part Green
What comes out of the oven: 48 Liberal MPs 5 Conservative MPs
[Real Lavergne's table says result in Toronto area was 48 Liberal MPs 4 Conservative MPs 1 NDP MP]
Calgary Political Cake
Mix together these votes:
53 parts Conservative 23 parts Liberal 17 parts NDP 5 parts People's Party 2 part Green
What comes out of the oven: 9 Conservative MPs 1 Liberal MP
That sort of thing
