Cons would never have control...

Libs would never get majority....

We'd forever have a system of government where they can't me vs them. They'd be forced to work together like the Libs and NDP are doing currently.

This is not true. Look at the German electorate, which is dominated by five parties which often form coalitions. The CDU/CSU conservative coalition formed grand Coalitions with the centre left SPD quite a few times successfully, after neither side could form a majority coalition.

Edit: upon revisiting my comment, strike the first sentence. Regardless, conservatives do have control in Germany. Even if it's just through coalitions. Coalitions are amazing and so is ranked choice voting.

Seems like a reasonable outcome.
