Where it all began...

The stimulus to initiate electoral reform was the 1996 election.

The NDP received 39.45% support and won 39 of the possible 75 seats

The Liberals received 41.82% support and won only 33 seats.

The NDP won a majority government despite receiving fewer votes than the liberals!

The skewed results continued with the 2001 election.

The Liberals received 57% support but won 97% of the seats.
