@fairvote.ca Distorted? Only if you presume that seats in the legislature ought to be proportional to overall votes, which of course is the fundamental question.
In reality, #FPTP delivered Quebeckers essentially the result they wanted: https://cosocial.ca/@mpjgregoire/117406306806241008 [โฆ]
@enobacon
addendum:
the #USA is a 2 party system due to shitty #FPTP (unlike FPTP #UK or #Canada with #parliamentary systems that lend third parties stability)
meaning it's just math
if we removed all the corruption ...

People who want #ElectoralReform find another reason in every election to support their position. When I look at the #Quรฉbec election, I think we should be reasonably pleased with the results #FPTP has delivered:
* an unpopular party ejected from power (possibly ushered to oblivion)
* a new [โฆ]
#fptp really sucks, being forced to vote against the worst rather than vote for the best. How do you guess how the progressives in your region will vote?
I favour replacing #FPTP with #SVS ( #SupplementaryVoteSystem), a similar system, limited form of #AV used for #EnglishMayoralElections, could be implemented relatively quickly, people are familiar with it, then see how that works out.
Results at 11 pm.
PQ 28,2 % with 59 seats
CAQ 13,3 % with 0 seats
Cons 21,4 % with 19 seats
etc...

The United Kingdom and Belarus. The only European countries left, who have #FPTP. #r4today #MichaelGove
โWe will all have failed in our public duties if we carry on as we are and open the door of No 10 to a divisive government on less than 30% of the vote,โ Burnham said as he argued passionately against the first-past-the-post electoral system.โ #FPTP #ProportionalRepresentation #r4today
The constant state of flux in a endless pursuit of power and majority control that we see for elections at the provincial and federal levels is the clear indicator that #FPTP does not work.
Time to work towards #ProportionalRepresentation
How using choose one voting means need of more big money in politics?
First Past the Post would have given the AfD nearly every seat in Saxony-Anhalt electoral-reform.org.uk/first-past-t... #ElectoralReformSociety โ ERS

It requires complete disruption of political status quo which no one is willing to lead.
End #FPTP, bring adhocratic evidence based direct democracy.
They might be right - Sure hope so! #ProportionalRepresentation locks in at least some influence from voters whereas #FPTP allows elites to ignore ordinary people in so many ways and that's the core reason living standards have plummetted whilst a small clique get fabulously wealthy
Replace #fptp
