Ontarians saw Rob Ford and how fucked up he is and how he was a crack smoking drunk ass clown, with his brother there was always beside him almost as fucked up as he was and decided "yep, I'm gonna put his brother in charge of this whole province".
They got exactly what they voted for. And now they regret it?
ikr? And they re-elected him!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡
PCPO got a majority with 40% of the votes, with a 43.5% turnout, that's something like 17.4% of all eligible voters. I've seen people say that oh Horwath was uninspiring etc etc, their (the NDP) platform sounded pretty good to me and again, you vote for your local rep in our system, not the party leader (unless you lived in Horwath's riding).
Be real, I don't personally care about how inspiring a politician is, I'd rather they have a good platform and hold people accountable.
Based on what? His unfavourable a may be high, but I don't know because I haven't bothered to check because it's irrelevant. Ford's greatest political assets were 1. An [in]famous name, 2. Arriving on the scene at just the right time, 3. Ontarian's general apathy towards provincial politics and a strong tendency towards status quo, and 4. Not having to deal with any competent opposition.
If an election were help today he would win again.
Or opposition that was just competent enough to cock block each other resulting in a PC win for the riding and thus a majority government with ~30% of the popular vote
And very low voter turn out.
