It's very likely that the Liberals will have to work with the NDP to form government. Isn't it a no brainer for the NDP to make electoral reform a deal breaking issue?

Lack of proportional representation is what has led to their laughable 7 seats.

The liberals will find working with the bloc a lot harder than the NDP, so electoral reform seems like an acceptable deal from their end too, right?

Should we be excited for this?

Vote splitting felt very frustrating this election, but NDP can't afford another election yet, and they need space to rebrand and rebuild. I can't see them formally hitching themselves to the Liberals again right now. But hopefully they come to some backroom understandings in order to keep a stable government. And NDP voters who went Liberal this election are not going to be interested in threats to topple the government.
