Moreover, 60.5% of Canadians voted against your "clear party", and it still has a majority government. That's the problem
I never called the Liberals “clear”and they aren’t “my party” as I am returning to voting NDP next time around and even if I weren’t that wouldn’t make them “my party”. You are so severely partisan you can’t even imagine people willing to vote for multiple parties. Last time around the NDP were regressive not progressive. They were against marijuana legalization and promised zero deficits making their priorities clear and it wasn’t daycare. The NDP is a neoliberal party too. Voting for other parties is not the same thing as voting against the parties not voted for. Trudeau has by far the highest rankings as Prime Minister amongst those available. You are projecting dissatisfaction. That might explain why so far PR has not won broad support from Canadians.
Trudeau is by far the most popular leader in Canada. A majority of voters are “against” the NDP and the Conservatives by your reckoning.
You and other FPTP supporters are essentially conjuring an after-the-fact narrative where "Canada", as a single organism, votes to reject a government, an ability it possesses only because of the capricious nature of FPTP, which it'd be giving up if the electoral system were representative.
It’s just the opposite. In Canada not all votes are equal because we are not a single entity we are a federation made up of provinces that joined individually. We express our diversity through our municipal and provincial elections. It isn’t so much that I support FPTP I just don’t see MMP as clearly better in which case why take the risk? Canada has done well in my estimation.
I elect an individual not a party. This is why MPs can cross the floor without a new election. To some extent the party is answerable to the MP especially in a minority situation. You want to elect political parties making the MP more beholden to the party rather than to constituents.
If a majority of Canadians vote for a party under PR, it'll get a majority government. If not, it won't. And the wheeling and dealing that led to the Liberals propping Harper up for 6 years of minority governments under FPTP didn't seem to bother you.
Of course it bothered me. They were still doing what Canadians wanted them to do most of the time because opposing Harper would have meant having another election which Canadians did not want.
As you noted the possibility exists, and quite frequently, of having minority governments. In that situation the government can work with any party in opposition to form a majority to pass legislation. That isn`t possible under PR. Under PR parties are forced into coalitions and if they can`t form one there is no government and new elections must be held.
If under PR the lead party formed government and could work with any MPs (parties) on a case by case basis then I would support something like Dion`s version of PR that doesn`t require any top off seats or party lists.
