Well, Harper's majority consists of 40% of the vote on an estimated 60% voter turnout. Some quick voodoo math tells me that the current "majority" government was put in place by barely a quarter of eligible voters. [Why does that sound wrong? Someone tell me that's wrong. If it's right, it's simply atrocious.]
If Harper gets reckless, it's going to create an even bigger question mark over the next election.
Sheesh.... "2015." Why does that sound like forever from now?
