Our vote counts for nothing in the Pontiac

I have designed an interesting chart, which shows us that the voters of the MRC Pontiac voted for absolutely nothing. My chart shows this via two scenarios, given that in the last election MRC Pontiac produced 20.7% of the total votes in the Pontiac riding. Scenario one: 100% of votes in the MRC go to the CAQ; Scenario two: 100% go to the QS. Conclusion: Neither matters. The Liberals are the big winners in both scenarios. Practically speaking, it is Aylmer which determines who will be in power in our riding. All of us (in MRC Pontiac) have not a word to say!  

Once we understand this phenomenon, it is easy to see why Pontiac, properly speaking, is in a free fall. When will our politicians address this? My chart tells us why they do not.

Why are we thrown in with Aylmer? Think about how different are our many, many needs!
