I hate this mentality of bucketing Liberals and NDP together. They're different parties with different policies, and one of the main benefits of PR is that leftists don't have to compromise our values and vote Liberal just to prevent Conservatives from winning. Treating it like left vs right just pushes us towards the Democrat vs Republican in the US.

Ah fuck off. People voting for both liberal or NDP would prefer either one to win over the conservatives any day of the week.

That's probably true for NDP voters (i.e. they'd rather have a Liberal government than CPC), but I don't think it's true that Liberal voters would rather have NDP than Conservative.

We're both just speculating though, there's probably some actual info on this from people studying ranked ballots

Anything the US does Canada does just a little later.
