MarkG<p>It's interesting that we were all expecting a Liberal majority, given the polls prior to the election. </p><p>One thing that was correctly predicted was the collapse of the NDP. I still voted for them, since I feel their policy offerings were the best of the lot, but no denying they collapsed. Bloc &amp; Green votes also shrank, leading to the 2-party result of LPC centre right vs CPC right wing. </p><p>Quite a choice: tax cuts &amp; austerity &amp; pipelines vs tax cuts &amp; austerity &amp; pipelines. </p><p>The CPC did better than was expected. Ultimately, if we don't adopt a more proportional system, they will win unfettered power with a false majority at some point in the future (likely next election). Basically we're following the same path as the USA.</p><p>That said, I saw Fair Vote's call for the NDP MPs to make PR a condition of support. I might have sympathy for Fair Vote's call if they had endorsed the NDP during the election, since the NDP did commit to PR in the last election. But Fair Vote didn't. So to now set the stage for further derision of the NDP by making a hugely impractical demand strikes me as a bit much (and I am a paid supporter of Fair Vote).</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cdnpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cdnpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/FairVoteCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairVoteCanada</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/NDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NDP</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/canpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Elxn45" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Elxn45</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/CPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPC</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/LPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LPC</span></a></p>
