If the threat of losing the election was to the Liberals then yes. But until we ditch fptp we’re stuck with a two party system pretending to be a multi-party system.
Yep, and normally I’d say you gotta just be the change and vote for a losing party to build support.
But with what’s happening in the abyss that is the States right now, taking a step backward in order to move forward feels much more dangerous than ever before.
We need electoral reform, but asking for it, and being promised it, sure hasn’t been working.
Not to mention that by the numbers we are still in that position. It’s just the Liberals chose a party leader who appears to have a specific hostility towards the NDP and would rather court the CPC for votes.
Actually, there kind of isn’t? They lost their party status in the last election because Liberals don’t understand how strategic voting works, and the NDP lost too many seats to Conservatives in the process.
There’s still the NDP.

Except the previous two elections had the NDP holding the balance of power?
Right??

Until we can get rid of fptp there isn’t much hope
