The conservatives still turned out a lot of votes. The left just voted strategically to keep them out. Next election the left will split again and we will get the conservatives again. Given the parties recent history even if it isn’t Poilievre I’m sure they will pick another alt right sycophant.

Not if we have ranked choice voting with proportional representation.
Ranked choice doesn’t make sense in a proportional representation system.
It does if you still want to have a local representative, although everything seems to be party politics these days.
I’d be happy enough with proportional representation, though.
@SpaceCowboy @sik0fewl Proportional RCV does indeed exist https://fairvote.org/our-reforms/proportional-ranked-choice-voting/
What’s the difference between that and STV?
More likely is the Conservatives will split back into 2 parties. The Progressives vs the Reformers.
Rather than settling for the investment banker, they could all rally around a candidate that’s interested in social good.
The Left doesn’t have to split.
The left has to get their shit together before that can happen. Right now the left cares more about purity tests over being effective.

People care about who they can trust. Far to much liberal politics revolves around lying, cheating, and scamming voters, donors, and activists.
You can’t have a viable Left in a country that’s too cynical to believe better things are possible.
