Maybe it is illogical.
They are saying in this bill that if one-half of the voters in the last election who cast their votes asked for a recall, then there should be one.
Let us see what is wrong with that argument, if we can get into the technical merits of the bill. We have a country where we had 14 political parties at the last election. In most constituencies across the way, may I suggest, members were elected with less than 50 per cent of the votes.
This means that anyone who did not vote for them in the last election could immediately initiate a recall afterward for every single member that was elected with less than 50 per cent of the vote.
We have five political parties represented in the House. How many members, particularly on the opposition side, were elected with more than 50 per cent of the votes in their ridings? Some were and some were not. For everyone who was not elected with 50 per cent or more of the votes, is that in itself grounds for recall? It would be under this bill.
