Small update with the official results for the 2008 federal election. The instability in Canadian federal politics can be directly tied to the absurd situation of the Bloc Quebecois holding the balance of power due to FPTP exaggerating the power of regional parties. The Bloc have the support of less than 10% of Canadians and thus should have only about 30 seats. Not the *75* that they hold. Federalist parties in Quebec have more than 61% support but only 33% of the representation. How does *that* make any sense?
