NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh suffered a resounding defeat on election night, losing his own seat, his party reduced to a single-digit seat count.

    I completely agree to be clear.

    But “major party” means something in election parlance, and unfortunately because of all the required strategic voting, it means NDP won’t be at the next debate.

      all the required strategic voting,

      Much of BC was lost through three-way ties that the blues won by a nose. It seems that, for some ridings, strategy wasn’t strong enough.

      If two Oranges ‘cross’ to Red to give Mark a mandate, can they ‘cross’ back before the next election?

        Yeah I hope the fact that both the NDP and the LPC got screwed in BC on so many ridings causes their hopeful coalition government to actually implement voting reform this time.
