I don't see how the Liberals and NDP are always lumped together. Fundamentally they are totally different parties. I think it would have been smart for the Green Party to try and take over the socially liberal, fiscally right-wing part of the spectrum that Harris seemed to want to take them, as that group of people doesn't really have a party that matches their interests all that well at the moment.

I don't think proportional representation would be a solution, but I am in favour of instant runoff. It at the very least ensures that the majority of people in a riding are comfortable with their elected representative.
