By voter turnout it looks like this:

43% vs 30% vs 19% vs 5%, thus FPTP 43% Ford wins. Three times in a row 🤡

Or 43% vs (30% + 19% + 5%), thus FPTP 54% coalition wins🎉

Ontarians need to finally learn the latter instead of endlessly goldfish-brain repeating the former 🤷🤦🤡🔫

They can't. No one can. We have too many parties in Ontario thus the non-Conservative vote is split, over, and over, and over. No one can do the math apparently. LIBNDPGRN need to form a coalition to oust Ford and stop vote splitting.
How it works (long thread incoming...)

First off Ontario has too many parties to support FPTP. This ensures we don't have a democracy. 45.4% turnout in 2025 is just a plurality, not a democracy. We don't have laws to force a 50% winner. Doing so requires ranked ballot, or fewer parties
still can't believe ontario keeps voting for a guy whose idea of making things better for its residents is "force way more debt on university students," "build spa literally no one wanted," and "dig underground car tunnel literally no one asked for" like how are we this masochistic

Neither Albertans nor Albertan Separatists own the land so there's no land to trade. There are so few of them they can separate to a motor home and GTFO to the USSA.

If the party leaders LIBNDPGRN continue to deny a coalition because their delusions of grander are more important than Ontarians, then Ford has already won on the split vote. It's basic math.

@beynate.bsky.social must be asked before he's anointed leader, if he'll form a coalition. If no, Ford wins

If the NDP would stop playing games with 5% candidates, on just 30 ridings, ridings they lose anyway, those ridings would stop giving away Conservative seats. Then a coalition gov could be made. If LIBNDPGRN made a coalition, have votes go to GRN in those 30 ridings, then Ford can lose

19.98% on a sub 50% vote is an extremely low threshold to break. But if we keep splitting the vote it's enough to win. However stop splitting the vote, and that 19.98% is a ceiling and a coalition above that can win against it
February 14, 2026 at 5:01 AM
Multiply the poll number by the voter turnout to get the portion of registered voters they really won. 45.4% * each poll value means Ford won with 19.98% of the registered vote. NDP sit in Opposition with... 7.26% of the registered vote due to vote splitting shenanigans.

did you know polls are not out of 100%? They are only out of the voter turnout of 45.4%. So even if you polled at 100%, it still only represents 45.4%, the people that went and voted. Never shown on any poll is the actual registered voter, and how 54.6% did not vote. Plenty of voter room

Norway and Poland are essentially doing this now, already on their second and third shipments, bypassing the late Germans

same in housing, all private sector, nothing public. Invest means Give away

Or maybe it means sidestepping the USA-DND away from their terrible USA-only decisions then that's a bonus. Outsource our defence to Hanwha Group? We supply the doubloons they give us the goods every 12 months?
