It's very likely that the Liberals will have to work with the NDP to form government. Isn't it a no brainer for the NDP to make electoral reform a deal breaking issue?

Lack of proportional representation is what has led to their laughable 7 seats.

The liberals will find working with the bloc a lot harder than the NDP, so electoral reform seems like an acceptable deal from their end too, right?

Should we be excited for this?

A few scattered thoughts on this:

  • The NDP are leaderless, and are therefore agendaless until they can get organized again.

  • They're also probably broke, and in no position to fight another election.

  • While they certainly hold a good position in the new HoC, there's bound to be some introspection about how that worked out for them last time.
