I imagine the Bloc don’t want this and would back the Liberals to prevent it
Do you have any evidence of this, or is it just an opinion? I tried to find anything regarding their stance on PR and came up blank, which may not be a good sign.
Realistically, an informal coalition between the NDP and the Bloc could give them both immense power. If neither support the Liberals, then they will have to rely on the Conservatives, which seems unlikely. If they have a few key goals in common that the Liberals don't strongly oppose, they could very well push those through. I'd love for PR to be one of those, but as I said before, I can't find a stance for the Bloc.
I imagine
Because the Bloc greatly benefits from over representing a small population
There is a 1% variance between the popular vote and the seats they hold this election. I just checked for previous elections, and it is certainly disproportionate in all the previous ones, and not in their favor a couple times to the point of losing official party status.
I'd still be happier if someone asked the question and they answered it, rather than just assuming. They do tend towards the more socially progressive stance.
This should be the first order of business with a supply and confidence agreement with the NDP🟠
I would love this so much!
Honestly, I'd argue it's about both.
Imagine being a staunch supporter of party X that gets involved in a scandal. 90% of the MPs defend the scandal, while 90% of the party X voters oppose it. With proportional representation the party could split and voters could support party X2 and actually have a voice.
As it stands, voters get fucked with a "keep supporting us or you're letting your enemy win". I think the above applies to Liberals, Conservatives, whomever.
