You choose the one you like the best and go to the counter. We just take orders and at the end of the month decide which is the most popular model and ship that one to everyone who ordered a sofa. That way, your choice will have some influence in deciding which sofa you get. And he's right. This election, we have a choice of five main parties and many smaller ones.
Voters get to plunk down one single mark.
And you deserve to get the sort of sofa you didn't choose. Based on their campaigns, neither the Liberals nor the Alliance deserves election. That's not to say that the Bloc quebecois, the PCs or the NDP deserves to win. For the most part, they've run better campaigns, but that's not reason enough to vote for them. Instead, the point is that Canada's electoral system is a poor mechanism for picking governments.
