Also, why the fuck would you vote NDP in a riding where the Greens actually have a chance (or vice versa)?
Their platforms have way more in common than they differ.
really sad that FPTP here led to the inevitable outcome: the only party that shouldn’t have won did win

I think the only people looking at riding projections or riding history are us nerds who discuss politics on lemmy. I think strategic voting in the general public is very real, but it seems to more take the form of “I normally vote NDP and will vote Liberal this time” rather than digging into the politics of their riding.

I think a lot of people would feel free to vote for the representative they truly want instead of feeling forced to vote strategically against someone they don’t want

Check the vote totals from 2021 to 2025. The NDP switched to Liberals and the PPC switched to the CPC. That’s why the CPC won.
So, basically, the Liberals didn’t switch and the NDP switched to the wrong party.
