An interesting thought exercise. What if Ontario used Proportional Representation. Ford would have gotten 76 seats, but he’d have seen an Ontario Parliament that was 187 or 188 seats. Of these:
The NDP would have gotten another 22 seats, in addition to their 40 won seats, for 62 total seats.
The Liberals would have gotten another 29 seats, in addition to their 7 won seats, for 36 total seats.
The Greens would have gotten 7 additional seats, plus their 1 won seat, for a total of 8 seats.
5 seats would have to be allocated between the NDP, Liberals, and Greens since the Progressive Conservatives shouldn’t be entitled to more than 40.5% of the seats as they got 40.5% of the vote.
We’d have to amend the US constitution to make this happen here, but I think you guys could just do it with a law there. But this is what ifs and coulda-bens. The as-is shows clearly why we don’t want to import your political system here. Democrats would never win an election again if we split our votes like Ontarians split theirs…
