Library of Parliament "Elections and Ridings" only about successful candidates and riding boundaries


Funny thing.


Maybe it is just me but I can't get any election results out of the Library of Parliament website.


Only whom is elected.


If the Parliament thinks that that only the names of those who are elected are election results, then that is a shame.


Elections are about how people vote - not just whom is elected - in my mind anyway.


How do we know that those who are elected actually got more votes than any oher candidate?


How do we know whether or not they got a majority of the votes in the district?


Either way they are elected. But it is a telling thing about the state of our democracy if many are elected without the support of a majority of voters in the riding they run.


We can only judge that from the vote tallies.


Here's the link. See what you can find...
