fixed that to show perspective.
Is the left getting what it wants with Trudeau? When you pool all the votes for the left-leaning parties, they represent the majority of voters. Even when Harper won a majority, the majority of voters were not being represented. So he may not be who the majority of voters want, but he is at least closer to what they want than Harper was.
