    Right now we have a system where a party can have a majority of the seats with as little as 35% of the vote (and technically even less) and you’re saying it’s worse when the parties have to form alliancess so they represent a majority of the vote in order to hold the reigns?

    It’s funny because at the moment we are moving towards elections that will put our own right wing/social conservative party in power with a majority while about 60% of the population votes center left to center right, with a proportional system the NDP and Liberals would just form an alliance and represent the majority of the population.
