In these 32 ridings the PC candidate won thanks to vote splitting. Results are as of this morning and may have changed slightly.
Thanks to all spoiler candidates listed below /s
26 spoiler candidates are New Democrats, 11 are Green, and 5 are Liberal. Only one NDP candidate, Natasha Doyle-Merrick, had the decency to step down in Eglinton-Lawrence, but that election was still spoiled by Green candidate Leah Tysoe 😡

Blaming the candidates is missing the point. It’s the party leaders who need to make this happen.
There needs to be a single alliance party right from the outset who’s only mandate is to implement PR, call an election and disband.
I think the bigger problem is that the “establishment”, prioritize party over their constituents.
100%
Yeah, party leadership is way more at fault that individual candidates but as the Eglinton-Lawrence case showed, they do have the power to at least minimize vote splitting. I’m very disappointed that the Greens put up 124 candidates when they only had good chance to win 3 seats. Why not focus your effort on these instead of spoiling or helping to spoil 11 ridings!?
