If 40% of the populace feels so unimpressed by our voting system that they don't even bother to vote, that's saying something.

Your statement strongly implies that people who don't vote don't vote because they are unimpressed with the way that seats are awarded. That's a pretty big if.

But speaking of our voting system in the more literal sense of the "system we use to cast our votes", one thing I do love come election time is in fact our voting system. We all mark pieces of paper which are counted in a matter of hours by staff who are monitored by volunteer scrutineers. A simple, elegant, scalable, near-impossible-to-fudge (provided there are rival scrutineers) system.

Praise Jebuz that we've not fallen into the hands of technophiles and giant systems vendors.
