There was an article in the Star today that pointed to the fact that
based on the voting patterns in this election, had we had MMP, the
biggest winner, by far, would have been the Progressive Conservatives.

So yeah, with MMP, we might have a couple Green MPPs that we don't
have.  The Conservatives would have gained several times that many
seats.

Anyone that thought that MMP would be a "bonanza" for left-leaning
representation, and therefore a "good thing," should think twice.

It's most interesting that in the thread discussing peoples' voting
patterns, the patterns make it pretty clear that those that reported
in do not represent demographics even faintly similar to those of the
province or of the city of Toronto...
