Seems to be the consensus among fewer than 2300 of them, anyway.
Comments
Most of that dissatisfaction is not with democracy itself but with the Conservative majority government we democratically elected nearly two years ago. It has consistently pandered to the right wing of its already right-leaning base.
Last week's UN vote alongside the Coalition of the Rocky Outcrops (Palau, Nauru, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands) demonstrated this government's growing disconnect with (and contempt for) public opinion -- as did its withdrawal from the Kyoto Protocol, its muzzling of federal scientists, its build-more-prisons approach to justice, and its widespread election tampering in May 2011.
If two-thirds of Canadians are dissatisfied with Parliament, it's because roughly the same proportion voted for parties other than the one currently in power.
