Ranked ballot is a bad idea. That's what got AB PC in trouble by electing Stalmach and Redford as their leaders. I have no problem with first past the post system. Let's say PC is supposed to have more than 99 seats in this election by popular vote and let's give PC 10 more seats in the new system. Would it change anything? Hardly. The Grits are still going to govern anyway.

Same with you give Libertarian one seat under the new system, what difference will it make? Nothing.

In the sports world, it has always been first past the post. If the one team beats the other in 4 games each of which is by one run, they win the series. It doesn't matter if the losing team out scores the winning in total or not.
