The problem is that a lot of people are genuinely uninformed to shit. For example, one of my Jewish NDP friends was complaining about the number of other Jewish folks he knew at his synagogue who decided to vote for the only candidate in our riding whose name looked Jewish, even though she was Conservative and they usually vote Liberal. (The irony is that she has a Jewish name but is actually a right-wing Christian.)

So even if 100% of the population voted, and 60% voted for Leopards Party, it still wouldn’t mean 60% of people were voting for leopards to eat people’s faces. It would just mean that a lot of them probably scratched a mark next to whomever’s name resonated with them most. Considering a lot of folks are apathetic about politics since they think all politicians are the same, it wouldn’t mean anything to them which political party was listed next to a name.
