You assume the ndp dissappear because they vote ndp instead of libs? That’s not how Canadian politics works. The ndp simply become a dance partner to the libs to vote against the blue whenever they introduce something insane in HOC. They become a majority together to keep the cons in check. For ndp voters they feel safe in either party on the bipartisan angle. This election was just special once trump was the topic.
This is why the 172 is a magic number because it means a majority doesnt get checked. All other parties cannot add up to that number to fight in HOC.
A number that so long as ndp and bloc exist along side the libs: they are a threat to the blue.
This election the blue were trying to steal from the libs and ndp and bloc.they managed to steal about 20 seats.
Bloc sacrificed a lot in this election. Ndp too. They lost their party status.
If the house of commons was comprised of the popular vote of the country maybe but it isn’t. The vote splits in each riding and on the riding level they lose and it becomes a conservative seat. In deeply liberal ridings like downtown Toronto the NDP and liberals might trade places but anywhere where the vote is close they both lose.
That is why FPTP trends towards two parties. That is why there isn’t the Canadian alliance and PC parties anymore.
Doesn’t matter what they want.
The only real option for right wing voters is the conservatives so they will keep voting blue.
The only real option for liberal voters not happy with the current state of things is the NDP.
So the NDP pulls votes from the liberals and the conservatives will be in power.
