Doug Ford keeps on getting reelected, his brother was the mayor of Toronto despite the drugs and overall unseriousness... I mean why do people elect these guys? Is it for the memes and laughs?

I'm being totally serious when I ask this btw. What does the average Doug voter's rationale for getting this guy in office? Same with former Rob Ford voters. Who voted for Rob Ford? Why?

Edit: TLDR of the answers seem to be:

  • Horrible effect of fptp, vote split between liberals, ndp and the greens
  • Low voter turnout

We need two sets of laws for Ontario. In Toronto we want speed cameras, some roads closed to cars. I get that it's not an issue in N. Ontario. I'd even let 14 year olds drive in N. Ontario because of the distances, if we make people start by driving a small 1L car, before being allowed to buy an SUV in the Greater Toronto Area.

Still lots of used Smart Fortwo cars around.
