For the love of god don't let our one conservative party form a minority government. Also proportional representation asap please.

[–] Daelsky@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Proportional representation is a NEED at this point. Our democracy is flawed without it because of the misrepresentation of FPTP.

Yall beat me to it. FPTP is so fucking bad.

It’s awful. I’d love to see a system closer to Germany’s

If it keeps tending in the direction it's going, even if the conservatives get more seats, they may not necessarily win. We're almost in coalition territory. We would be already if the BQ and Liberals were willing to work together.

NDP has fumbled so hard. There’s been a good opportunity for them to build some momentum here and they haven’t taken it.

Clown leader. Charlie Angus needs to take the reins

I'm wondering how an CPC minority government would even work. Especially if a CPC non-confidence vote against the Liberals succeeds and pushes us into a spring election.

On the little graphs they have CPC+NDP and CPC+BQ coalition, but those don't seem likely. Pollievre would be in an extremely tenuous position.

It wouldn't work with the ndp at all. The bq might with exactly the right set of accommodations, but you're right it will be tenuous

The same way the last two Conservative minority governments worked: the other parties see no value in a non-confidence vote, so they either abstain from confidence votes, or negotiate a reason to support the Conservatives.
