Like all other party results, the "who didn't vote" party came in at 53% of the eligible voters in Canada, who couldn't be bothered to vote, or who felt why bother.
As all parties reflect on their total numbers of votes obtained, and are now deciding on the quality of their leaders, the reality is there that this election especially, there was nothing new to be gained, divisions so deep that no one really cared, and the apathy that prevailed was thicker than usual in that no one felt any party leader was worth the effort to go out and vote for.
Perhaps this election will go down in Canadian history as one of the most useless elections that has ever been forced on the Canadian public. Nothing changed in the dynamics of the political frontier that made this election worth the effort to vote let alone the 615 million dollars it cost to conduct the election. And yet we all know that trudeau will be calling an other election in 18 months or sooner because he wants a majority government and this power grab election was an exercise in futility
The reality is, the "did not vote" party needs to step up and vote. They need to put aside their apathy and delusions aside, and actually get out there and vote. I am sure if the election was about putting religion back into the schools and teaching creationism, the number of voters would increase by 80%. The population needs to understand that their vote does count and that they are needed. A country is only as strong as the people who vote.
