Ontario's current voting system, known as first-past-the-post, sees each riding elect the member with the most votes, but not necessarily a majority of votes. The remaining ballots, often over half, are sent to the trash bin, with no effect on the outcome of the election.
This might not be such a bad thing, you might say, if discarded ballots from my riding were cancelled out by a similar number of discarded ballots for another party in another riding. Unfortunately, things are usually far from equal in FPTP, with one party benefiting significantly, and most others being short-changed.

Kent - London - Fanshawe is current ly held by Kalil Ramal of the Liberal party and they do not feature at all on the break-out for that riding. The breakout you have there says the NDP hold this riding....which isn't correct.
Hi linuxluver,
This is not supposed to be a conventional map... it's a map of WASTED votes. If you were one of the 36 % of folks in your riding that voted for Khalil, good for you, but what I'd like you to know is that 64 % of your neighbours' votes didn't count for anything!
