If you have never lived in Quebec, you might not be aware of how unique its politics are. This guy, J.J. McCullough, I think does a really good job laying out the history of Quebec politics right up to before the recent election. Then he shows how the election went, which gives some insight as to how Quebecers are voting.
Even more amazing is the demonstration of just how bad first past the post elections are, considering that parties who got around 500,000 votes did anywhere from as good as 21 seats to as little as 0 seats. If this doesn’t scream why proportional representation systems are better for getting voices heard in government, I don’t know what else can.
