I’m still waiting to see how the turnout was. I know some of the splits didn’t help the NDP or LPC. But I’m also thinking that would have been less of an issue if those parties had done a better job getting more people out to vote for them.
SW Ontario was also a story of union NDP voters breaking blue. It's always been a structural tension in the NDP progressive plus organized labour coalition.
Should have been a condition of the confidence and supply agreement. No more FPTP, what we switch to is less important than that we switch immediately.
Part of the blame there falls at the feet of the LPC supporters. There was a ton of "don't split the vote, vote LPC" posts here. I was even called a troll and blocked by one for suggesting an LPC vote _was_ splitting the vote in some ridings.
