    We lost a lot of NDP to conservatives. Not sure if it was people “voting strategically” liberal to avoid a conservative win, or just a lot of lost faith in NDP. Probably both of those things and more.

    It’s a win, but it’s a bitter one, when a party loses status because their supporters only flipped liberal to try to keep fascists out - and end up losing their representatives to conservatives.

    We need either ranked choice or proportional representation because people shouldn’t have to vote against their interests.

    But fuck yeah PP lost in his riding. I hope he eats a big bag of dicks.

      Strategic voting was just a delay tactic. Liberal gains came at the cost of the NDP and Bloc, not the Conservatives. The wolves of facism are circling and while we have kept them at bay for now, we did so by lighting a Liberal bonfire using the third parties as fuel, and it’s not going to last forever.
