The plummeting poll numbers for Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals might not seem as dire if Canada had adopted a new voting system.

Most governments have formed with a minority for the past couple of decades. It's already the reality.

But you're right that they wouldn't want to formalize it.

There's a difference between "formed with a minority" and "no chance at a majority ever again".

The LPC (and CPC) are quite happy with the current system. The LPC would accept AFV or ranked-ballot, but only because they're everyone's second choice, where the Conservatives are the first choice of ~35% of the population, but almost no one's second.
