Was that because of vote splitting though? I saw a bunch of NDP ridings flip to the CPC. Was wondering if it was NDP voters voting Liberal in strong NDP ridings and allowing the Cons to take it.
No, the NDP lost a ton of vote share in the 905 around Toronto and all the way down to Windsor, mostly going to the Conservatives. If it went to the Liberals we'd have a majority government.
I think they should cross the floor and join the Liberals either the party or as a coalition government. It would be better for them to join the party IMO, because they'd have all the benefits of official party status but also seats at the caucus meetings and possibly even Cabinet posts.
I think there’s benefits to keeping them where they are (with party status) the pros of having a minority government are huge. They have to work on things that others will agree with. And 4 votes from the other 3 parties shouldn’t be hard. If it is, maybe they should ask why.
