Apparently, there are about 14 MP's leaving from all parties but so far the Conservative MP's are leading and there are still some of them that haven't made up their minds. Many of them are leaving because of the new election boundaries, but some have just decide it just time to go. My question is, where are they going to seat the increase in MP's in 2015?? http://www.punditsguide.ca/2014/04/fourteen-mp-retirements-and-their-impact-in-2015/

Personally. I would like to see new electoral boundaries which increase the size of each riding and decrease the number of MP's. We have to be careful. In the USA, after the partisan gerrymandering was allowed, many districts will always be voting Democratic or Republican, because of the "strange" ways in which they were redrawn. This has created virtual "monarchies" which are ruled for life by whoever is lucky enough to get elected when the previous one dies.

Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

Except when they don't.....mustn't have "American style" redistricting, eh ?

Good to see you again Ali. Still trying to undermine the Americans I see.

Well, I think you should;

Harper Conservatives are certainly trying to emulate U.S. Republicans... the masters of partisan disenfranchisement. So bold are they that they pump-up their own strategy and brazenly report on just how successful they've been... Boris will like the "RedMap"!
