On vote shares

I'm not sure there's ever much need for an extra reason to spend some time poring over the state of Canadian electoral politics at the Pundits' Guide. But for those who haven't been by in awhile, Alice's latest addition is definitely worth a visit, as the site now features riding-level data showing candidates' shares of the eligible vote as well as the actual vote. Which, in addition to offering some extra insight as to how seats might be won or lost, should serve as a nice reminder of just how many non-voters there are for Canada's political parties to try to reach.
