If thats your version of politics 101 you better go back to school.

Let's see we have 2 Liberals, one a cabinet minister and the other a parliamentry assistant and former cabinet minister. We have 2 New Democrats, one who is the party leader and 1 Conservative who is the party leader.

I would say our representation is pretty diverse and indicative of most cities in this province. If anything we are better represented in the legislature than most cities having 2 party leaders as MPP's representing parts of this city. Hudak's riding covers Upper Stoney Creek and Glanbrook.

To say that we don't get our fair share because we only elect New Democrats is pure nonsense and anyone who has been involved in politics in this city will tell you that. That's an excuse we get from Liberals and Conservatives for us not getting our fair share. As a matter of fact Larry Di Ianni wrote the same thing on his blog just a week ago.

It is a very rare occurance in this city where one party will sweep all of the ridings. For the most part we are represented by all three party's in any government which is typical of most cities. The problem in this city is ineffective representation no matter what the party. The people we elect to represent us just don't deliver. I don't know if it's a matter of them not wanting to look like they are favouring this city or that they forget where they come from once they get to Toronto, but regardless of party affiliation we just don't get what we need or deserve from them.
