Am I right in thinking that Ontario's progressive wing probably suffers especially from the lack of preference voting or proportionality? I've heard a lot of vote splitting grumbling from Canadians in that respect.
First Past the Post creates many problems for people who want Anyone But Conservative, and it encourages the Liberals and Conservatives to aim at pleasing 40% of voters regardless what the rest of the country thinks.
Wikipedia gives 40% Conservative (83 seats), 24% NDP (31 seats), 24% Liberal (8 seats), 6% Green (1 seat).
Edit: FPTP also encourages similar parties to fight over the same ridings, rather than expand their support across the province or nation.
Only 43% of elegible voters voted. Part of the problem may have been that everyone is exhausted.

Derek Sloan tried his luck in Ontario and failed to win a seat. I have talked about him before.
I don't know much about the Ontario Liberals and whether they are a party of the establishment with vaguely universitied urban lefty sentiments like the federal Liberals.
