      I mean, yeah, if the percentages were different there would be a different outcome.

      As long as your vote wasn’t going to the conservatives, it mostly doesn’t matter what those numbers look like as long as OPC is less than 50%.

        depending on the pr… My thinking is I would have likely voted NDP with Liberal as second, rather than how i did vote: Liberal (party i thought had the greatest chance in my riding of causing us to not go conservative). I think this would likely have happened to a significant number of voters. Given all that I’m suspicious that any predictions that you could make given data under FPTP if there had been PR are valueless.
