Some more counting done
This directly highlights the problem with the first past the post system, Bloc Quebecois and NDP have about the same number of votes, yet Bloc Quebecois gets 23 seats, NDP only 7.
Anyway it looks like the NDP can still keep the Liberals in check while if the conservatives can convince the Bloc and NDP on a certain issue they could vote as a majority as well. But sad to see the NDP decimated.
2021 results:
Liberal 157 (33.12% of the vote)
Conservative 121 (34.34% of the vote)
Bloc Quebecois 32 (7.64% of the vote)
NDP 24 (15.98% of the vote)
Green 3 (6.55% of the vote)
Conservatives got shafted last time with our system.
If we had a system based on popular vote it would look like
2021 2025
Liberal 113 (157) 149 (168)
Conservative 118 (121) 142 (142)
Bloc Quebecois 26 (32) 22 (23)
NDP 55 (24) 22 (7)
Green 22 (4) 4 (1)
The Liberals continue to be over represented in the Federal elections but at least Liberal actually has the majority vote this time.
NDP gets shafted the most, 68% of NDP voters (4.3% of 6.3%) are not represented in the next government.
Green technically still gets shafted more but numbers are so low. People gave up on them already after last election 83% of Green voters did not get any representation in government.
The Liberals 'stole' an extra 5.5% this time, at least down from an extra 12.6% previous elections.
Conservatives match the votes this time.
First past the post system keeps pushing us further towards a 2 party system :(
