After 'Gallagher's Index,' what is your favourite piece of 'Liberal math'?

If Justin Trudeau approving two pipelines on Tuesday was tragedy, Minister of Democratic Institution Maryam Monsef's performance in Parliament today was farce.

Min. Monsef held up a drawing of "Gallagher's Index," a fairly simple equation used to measure the proportionality of electoral systems, in order to show how complicated ordinary Canadians would find electoral reform -- you know, the reform she was specifically mandated to study and communicate to those same Canadians. She was immediately and roundly mocked on Twitter.

But is Gallagher's Index complicated compared to the other examples of Liberal math? Which equation best defines the Liberal party?

Choices

Formulating a cabinet with 50% men, 50% women, and 100% corporate sellouts.

Stopping climate change by approving two pipelines, one LNG terminal, the Site C dam and seismic Arctic blasting.

Improving Canada's international reputation by gladhanding Donald Trump, committing to climate targets and then backsliding and breaking records selling arms to Saudi Arabia.

Entrenching a "nation-to-nation" relationship with First Nations by rejecting UNDRIP, reversing promises on Aboriginal education, doing nothing about TRC or youth suicides and running roughshod over Indigenous sovereignty.

Promise to end FPTP elections to improve engagement and reduce voter cynicism, form committee, reach consensus and then insult the intelligence of virtually every Canadian.
