  Yeah, I noticed the mistake after I sent it.   It has since been corrected.

  Hi Diane:

  Thanks for doing that!  That looks great!

  The colours all match actual party colours, except the liberals and conservatives are switched.

  Kevin.

  Hi Anita,

   

  Let me know if you'd like any changes.  Easy enough to rearrange order of parties, colours, etc.

  Hi everyone. I'm looking for someone who can volunteer to help me out a bit. I'd like to make a graph out of the 2011 election stats, showing how many seats each party won under our current system, and how many they would have won under PR.

   

  Something like a bar graph, with the colour of the bars matching the parties - whatever someone could look at and see quickly how things would have been different if the seats matched the popular vote. I'd like to put it on our display table during Democracy Week, and in the presentations I give. Can anyone help? I've never done a graph on a computer, and while I can learn, it would take me time I need to use advertising Democracy Week. Anyone willing to do this would be very much appreciated!!

   

  Anita

   

  P.S. If you know how to make a graph easily, it would be great to have a graph for the 2008 numbers, too, which were even more dramatic in terms of the distortion between seats and popular vote.

   

  Here's the 2011 stats:

   

  Current System:

   

  Cons: 167

  NDP: 102

  Liberal: 34

  Bloc: 4

  Greens: 1

   

  With PR:

   

  Cons: 122

  NPD: 95

  Liberals: 59

  Bloc: 19

  Green: 13
