Proportional representation ensures more choices get real power without giving a minority total control.

A screenshot of a Twitter post from Polling Canada (@CanadianPolling) titled "RETVRN TO LIBERAL SEATS". The graphic features a table breakdown of a hypothetical BC election projection, followed by an embedded text post detailing the poll results. The table displays party data in columns. Green has 9%, 2 seats, and a range of 1 to 2. New Democratic Party has 34%, 45 seats, and a range of 29 to 57. Liberal has 15%, 1 seat, and a range of 1 to 3. Conservative has 34%, 45 seats, and a range of 32 to 62. One BC has 3% and others has 4%, with both seat data sections empty. The embedded text post reads: "We also got hit with a hypothetical poll! NDP: 35%, CON: 34%, Liberals: 15%, Green: 9%, CentreBC: 3%, OneBC: 3%. Research Co. / June 5, 2026 / n=803 / Online x.com/CanadianPollin..."
