My perennial elections rant

Please observe:

Conservatives: 143 seats, 37.63% of the popular vote (3.5 seats per percent)
Liberals: 76 seats, 26.24% of the popular vote (2.9 seats per percent)
Bloq: 50 seats, 9.97% of the popular vote (5.0 seats per percent)
NDP: 37 seats, 18.2% of the popular vote (2.0 seats per percent)
Greens: 0 seats, 6.8% of the popular vote (0.0 seats per percent)


Why, I ask, do the Bloq get to leverage their vote x5 while the NDP only gets x2? Or the Greens get nothing at all? Why do the Conservatives get three and a half seats per percent, while the Liberals get less than three?

I know I've complained about this before, but it still irks me.

State of the Julie

1. Marc is MIA. Neither I nor his brothers know where he is. I haven't spoken to him today. This makes me sad.

2. Getting my hair cut tomorrow at 8:45. This means that even though I'm working the late shift, I'm leaving the house an hour earlier than usual. Early wake-ups make me sad. New haircuts make me happy. (Spending lots of money on new haircuts makes me sad.)

3. My aunt made me a scarf to go with the hat she made me last year. It's shorter than I'd like, but I can fasten it with my cloak clasp and it doesn't look half bad. Home-made accessories made just for me make me happy.

4. I realized yesterday that in an average week, four of my five weeknights are already at least partially booked. Lack of free time makes me sad.

5. I think I'm sleep deprived. Sleep deprivation makes me sad. And apparently silly.

G'night all.
