"We're 62% And We Have The Power."

Yeah, um. Right.

There's a site called "Coalition for Change 62% Majority" asking people to get involved in changing government. No. You're not getting a link to it.

What they really are advocating is a change to proportional representation. Then again, things are so "out there" these days we feel entitled to change things on a whim. I've been through this here.

This is one of those empty-headed, emotional driven faux grass-roots "movement" that claims to be the voice of the people filled with specious, one-sided arguments. It completely disregards reality and is downright hypocritical. Not that they see this.

If this is what drives the Liberals and NDP in the halls of ideas then they deserve to be kept out of power.

So why am I bothering to mention this here? Because when something is misguided and flat out wrong it should be pointed out. Sadly, many self-serving politicians have jumped on this bandwagon to nowhere.

When the Liberals eventually win with the inevitable less than 50% of the popular vote, will they care? Of course not. Suddenly, the "62%" figure is meaningless since their party got in.

Real change is when ideas are real. When they resonate with people and they cut across partisanship.
