It's very likely that the Liberals will have to work with the NDP to form government. Isn't it a no brainer for the NDP to make electoral reform a deal breaking issue?

Lack of proportional representation is what has led to their laughable 7 seats.

The liberals will find working with the bloc a lot harder than the NDP, so electoral reform seems like an acceptable deal from their end too, right?

Should we be excited for this?

Yes, we should be very excited! We must greatly pressure Mark Carney and the liberals to put their country first so we can improve our economy and ensure state stability with proportional representation. We must have a national citizen's assembly formed now to look at all the electoral systems to decide on the best one for the mps to work together to implement!
