The BC opposition is fracturing again, risking another BCNDP majority without a majority vote. First-past-the-post incentivizes non-compete deals and mergers over real choice. Proportional representation would let parties compete openly without stepping on each other’s toes.
A screenshot of a tweet by Rob Shaw (@RobShaw_BC) with a verified checkmark. The text reads: "NEW - @PeterMilobar and @Mike_A_Bernier - aka the Peter Party and CentreBC - to hold a joint press conference at 1pm today to announce a merger/cooperation agreement."

First-past-the-post doesn't stop early elections, as seen in ON, NS, and potentially BC. FPTP incentivises snap votes whenever polls hint at an increased artificial majority through key swing ridings. Proportional representation removes this incentive, encouraging parties to cooperate

The BC Liberals' choice to ignore '05's PR-STV vote, run a cynical '09 do-over, and oppose proportional representation in '18 set up today's splinter party. These parties can either keep cannibalizing and collapsing each other, or back proportional representation to compete on their own terms.
