People who want #ElectoralReform find another reason in every election to support their position. When I look at the #Québec 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 party rising up with fresh ideas
* a governing party in a position to get things done, but which will likely be unable to bring about their unpopular big idea
* an effective opposition

“It remains to be seen whether St-Pierre Plamondon, like so many leaders before him — including Legault — will keep his promise to reform the electoral system that led him to power.”

This morning, my dad said “I don’t know if you remember, but Trudeau once promised electoral reform”. Do I remember? Only every single time Trudeau opened his mouth.

@jfmezei I think this election shows that #FPTP tends to give good results. It's very effective at throwing parties out of power.
