As is, the first-past-the-post system will continue to give PCs an unfair advantage until they either splinter into two or are outflanked by a yet nonexistent party from the right. Neither option doesn't seem likely at the moment.

The other option, I guess, would be for the Libs and NDP to merge, shed their conservative members to the PC and try to be the Ontario party. Splitting the centre-left while not splitting the centre-right is really counterproductive. And if I was a PC grandee, which I';m not, I'd get all my buddies donating to the NDP to keep things the way they are now. Perhaps the Libs and NDP need to foster the far right to peel voters away? But man, there's a risk in that kind of behaviour in case they ever win. That'll be the wrong kind of orange wave.
