Canada

I completely agree the liberals wanted all the seats for themselves while acting like they deserve 100% of the power with only 42% of the vote while the smaller parties pulled out of some to avoid splitting the vote.

In a better world the liberals and conservatives would only receive 49% of the vote at most so they're forced to stop doing the bidding of corporations and oligarchs without question.

Canadians still didn't want to trust them with a majority.

I don't have the same read as you on this point specifically. 43% and 42% (for Cons) are both majority earning popular vote numbers in Canada, but it did mean that there was more support for the Liberals instead of the NDP overall (up from 33% in 2021). You can talk about held noses but Carney was viewed as a legitimately competent leader for our time of crisis and people voted accordingly. There were a lot of instances of Conservatives winning due to split votes in Southwest Ontario that was the main thing keeping them from a majority government.

I do think with the NDP wielding the balance of power, it is indeed a good idea to push for abolishing FPTP among many progressive reforms, but we don't have to commit to PR or bust from the start.

My point is: The shitty electoral system that keeps the Liberals in, is also the one that kept them out of majority territory this time.
