depending on the pr… My thinking is I would have likely voted NDP with Liberal as second, rather than how i did vote: Liberal (party i thought had the greatest chance in my riding of causing us to not go conservative). I think this would likely have happened to a significant number of voters. Given all that I’m suspicious that any predictions that you could make given data under FPTP if there had been PR are valueless.
If we’d had proportional representation this is what the numbers would be:
53 pc 37 lib 22 ndp 6 gr 2 new blue 1 ind
In the long run, the only viable solution is proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
But would they? I’d have voted differently if we had PR.
I mean, yeah, if the percentages were different there would be a different outcome.
As long as your vote wasn’t going to the conservatives, it mostly doesn’t matter what those numbers look like as long as OPC is less than 50%.

@karlhungus @ontario @prodigalsorcerer I’d have done likewise 👍
