Party | Seats | % | Change in Seats | Majority Probability | Minority Probability |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Liberal | 192 | 44.4% | +39 | 93.2% | 6.3% |
Conservative | 118 | 37.8% | -1 | 0.1% | 4.1% |
Bloc | 26 | 6.3% | -7 | 0% | 0% |
New Democrat | 6 | 6.7% | -19 | N/A | N/A |
Green | 1 | 1.4% | -1 | N/A | N/A |
People’s | 0 | 2.7% | -2.2% | N/A | N/A |
That’s true.
Unfortunately we have no real ability to microtarget the result between a minority and majority. With FPTP small changes in the popular vote in the 35-40% range produce drastic changes in seat numbers.
A possible side effect from a massive Liberal majority would be that the CPC is likely to split like it did in the past with Reform splitting from the PCs. In such a scenario, the next election would have a lot more room for a renewed NDP or something else to take votes from the LPC because the CPC won’t automatically win due to vote split.
