Pathetic.
In a world where people are willing to shed blood for the slim probability of having a say in their government (Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Bahrain), we had a record low voter turnout in the 2008 Federal election.
Voter turnout for 2008 was a record low 59.1% . The Conservatives garnered 37.63% of the popular vote, meaning that only 22.23% of eligible voters, less than 1/4(!), voted for Stephen Harper! Whether or not one likes Harper is besides the point: the National leader should be the choice of more than a quarter of eligible voters!
