Less than one ( 1%) of a province's or federal election eligible voters is a member of one of the three major political parties.
Having less than 1% of eligible voters or of the population, just
who, do these Political Parties truly and honestly represent?
Keep in mind that the primary goal, of all political parties, is to gain power for the
party NOT the voter or the electorate who supports and elects the candidates running under a political party
banner, be it NDP, Liberal or Conservative!
As it presently stands these power-hungry political members of a political party who represent less than 1%
of eligible voters remain under a self-serving belief for power and present an illusion of power that they should never be entitled to them as such political party power Does Not represent a true and transparent democracy in any form when such a few numbers of eligible voters are participating in political parties as members.
Voter apathy and lack of civic duty and responsibility for voting
and participating in provincial or federal elections have allowed these various political
parties to assert their personal political ideology beliefs, that their political party
knows what is the collective best for the majority of the electorate when it comes
to setting not only their respective political party’s agenda but one for the
99% of citizens within the entire Country or a Province!
The 99% of voters who are not members of a political party should, at the very least immediately start asking
and investigating who these politicians would be elite individuals, special interest
groups and unions are and who continually seek political power for their
respective political party members at the direct expense of the 99% of voters.
Yet the liberal party of Ontario
has fewer than 20,000 members which represents less than 1% of the eligible voters!
The NDP has an unconfirmed and estimated Ontario membership of fewer than 15,000 members!
Ontario Conservative party membership consists of approximately 30,000 members which also translates
to less than 1% of eligible voters.
When compared to the total population of Ontario, do these
members of any political party honestly represent a realistic percentage of the
population when in honesty they seek
elected office not for the voters but rather the political power of and for
their respective political party?
Why is there no legislative jurisdiction over political parties
under Canadian or Ontario
privacy laws? Should there be?
Why are such party membership lists only available to MPPs and
NOT the public, when such lists are gathered to accommodate democracy at
election time so that those seeking elected office can openly solicit
contributions, recruit members or votes and nothing more?
Why is it that in Canada
the province of British Columbia is the only province
that has legislation covering political parties under a provincial personal
information protection Act?
Are political parties just a ruse and deterrent to democracy and
realistically or transparently not a true asset to democracy because in reality, all they do is a self-promoting of power for the political party and not the
people?
