On November 7, Saskatchewan Province in Canada held provincial elections. The Saskatchewan Party, which had been formed in 1991, won a majority in the provincial parliament. It ousted the New Democratic Party, which had been in power since 1991. The 2007 election resulted in 37 seats for the Saskatchewan Party and 21 seats for the New Democratic Party. The Liberal Party, which contested ten seats, and which is one of Canada’s two major parties, did not win any seats.
Canada has easy and equal ballot access rules for all parties, new and old alike. Even though Canada (like the United States and Great Britain) does not use proportional representation for its important elections, one sees that in a nation with decent ballot access laws, new parties do sometimes succeed in winning power.
ALL gerrymander regimes (U.S.A., U.K. Canada, etc.) —

Remedy – 100 percent proportional representation
Party Seats = Party Votes X Total Seats / Total Votes = DEMOCRACY
Sentences are nice.
