The NDP had 9 years to press the promise of PR and did nothing. Fuck em. I hope they lose party status.
It was a mistake (in obvious retrospect) to not settle for RCV. Singh made his weekend speech, "vote strategically to not split for CPC win", which never has to be said under RCV. You can instead double down on why you should be first or 2nd choice, and voter only needs to agree to help you/party. You don't get strategic voting instructions from mainstream media. You have to rely on actively searched for leaked polling data that may or may not be true.
That's what I meant in long form. If they would have held the Libs to account, they could have got it. Instead they backed themselves into a corner and us into a two-party system. Fuck them in the 🐐 🍑 but this is what they get for not being the NDP Canadians needed.
Did they accomplish something? Sure, but not what we most need to avoid the pitfalls of a two-party ticket in the future. And the future is here.
