Whoever you vote for will be better than what we have.
We have an election this spring. This man will win again.Quote
Don't rub it in Herm. You guys have the best elected leader in Canada by a landslide. We are being run(into the ground) by a bunch of ideological students, social workers and baristas who don't understand nor care about all the damage they are doing to working Albertans. Prolly why you guys are weathering the storm sooooooo much better than we are. Fuck 2019 can't come soon enough.

Whatever happened to Pauline Hanson? I am too lazy to look it up myself.Quote from: "Herman"
Pauline still bobs up from time to time.
If she was just a tad smarter, she could make a real dent in the next election...but she ain't too bright.

When your election time?Quote from: "RW"
When the PM decides. There is no fixed date as such, but it must be called within three years of the previous.
What is the fine for not voting since you have a mandatory voting system?Quote from: "RW"
$50 for those dumb enough to pay. "I was ill" fixes that irritation. Actually, you only have to present at a polling booth and have your name marked.
What is voter turn out on such a system.?Quote from: "RW"
Around 99%. About 6% are donkey votes such as incomplete or incorrect ballot papers.

Good for you guys. Our municipal elections in Alberta used to be every 3 years too, but they changed it to 4. Not many people vote in municipal elections anyway.
