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 😡

    I’m sure the liberal party won’t do a stellar job

    On proportional representation, they have nothing to show. All bark, no bite – especially for their constituents.

    I don’t want to have my vote invalidated by vote splitting

    I like to see it as the other voters that are “vote splitting” by choosing to vote for candidates that don’t support proportional representation.

    Therein lies the strategic failing of everyone on the left.

    I don’t think anybody is happy with the current winner-take-all electoral system.

      Exactly. It’s one thing if you’re voting for the Liberal candidate because you believe in them, but if all you’re doing is voting defensively then I don’t know how we’ll get out of this two wholly unconstructive two party back and forth.

      Certainly not by voting our way out of it.

        We simply need too many people to decide to vote differently all at once to get someone else in there.

        I recognize that I’m part of the problem.

      Well, the liberals got in last election based on voting reform (at least in part), and they didn’t do shit. The conservatives certainly won’t implement it… There’s just, a lot to process with how fucked the current voting and government system is.

      At the end of the day, all politicians are owned by one corporate interest or another… That’s not going to change.

        I wouldn’t say all politicians, but there are too many, and too many in power. It can change if we vote for PR candidates exclusively!

        This largely does not apply to smaller parties and independents.
