| Just 58 per cent of eligible voters visited the polls - from a high of 69 per cent in Prince Edward Island to 48 per cent in Newfoundland, according to preliminary numbers. The all-time national low - until now, it appears - was 60.9 per cent in the June 2004 ballot that saw Paul Martin's Liberals secure a minority government. |
Meh. I guess going to the polls every two years isn't so thrilling. But it's still part of a trend. Even if you don't like the candidates (as I did) I think voter turn out is one of the real messages. If a minority vote, the politicians will only curry favor with the minority. If the majority don't care about democracy, we can't expect our politicians to care either. |
