Election nerdery

[chickenfeet]

 Based on the latest riding by riding predictions by Eric Grénier in the upcoming federal election only 109 ridings out of 338 will produce an overall majority (50% plus of votes cast) for the winner.  Only in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba will even half the seats produce a clear winner.  In the most hotly contested provinces; Ontario and BC, the picture is even less clear.  Only 23/121 ridings in Ontario look likely to produce a majority and only 8/42 in BC.  The case for some form of proportional voting system could hardly be clearer.
