I recognize that where the responses went was off-topic, and I am sorry 
that the "prompting" message may have led some to conclude that I was 
opening such a discussion.
That was not my intent.
I wanted to bring awareness to what I thought was a very thoughtful, and 
comparatively accurate (when looking at other predictors), tool for 
visibility of both riding of residence (local) or ridings across the 
jurisdiction (Provincial or Federal).
I only regret that I didn't think of sending it out earlier to have and 
real effect.  I've had this reference for at least 6 years. :-)

I'm a little fearful that this might be off-topic... but irresistible.
Having lived under PR, I would disagree. With First Past the Post, 
each party agrees their coalition before the election (all parties 
being themselves coalitions). With PR, parties promise whatever they 
want, and "coalition it away" post election.
