If the voters of Carleton-Mississippi Mills want to make a difference at Queen's Park, they should elect John Ogilvie as their MPP.
The Greens' list, de Jong said, will feature alternating male and female candidates, beginning with the party's Leader and its Deputy Leaders, who are elected democratically in party-wide ballots. The current Deputy Leaders are Victoria Serra, the candidate in Huron-Bruce, and Dr. Sanjeev Goel, who's running in Brampton West.
Also on the list are the top female and male vote-getters, by percentage, from the previous election, in order to reflect the will of party supporters. The balance of list candidates will be chosen through a democratic election among members at the Green Party's annual general meeting. (link)
The winner is not the candidate who receives a majority of the votes cast, but simply the one who comes in first place. With four candidates, it can be done with as little as 25% plus one of the vote. The other 75% of the voters are rewarded for doing their civic duty with … bupkus. All in all, between one-half and two-thirds of all the votes cast in a given election are, in this sense, wasted.
