FPTP is strange science

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:
