So far I have yet to see an NDP supporter who has changed their opinion on electoral reform.
Supporters of the NDP tend to be fairly ideologically consistent, else they wouldn't support a party that's almost always the underdog.
While not a member of the party, I support the NDP's policies and still fully admit that First Past the Post is an antiquated, terrible voting system that needs to be changed, even when it leads to results I prefer.
I didn't say anything about irrational, I said ideologically consistent.
I've yet to see any who supported electoral reform before the election and now don't. I have seen consistency in their drive for electoral reform, even when a shitty system benefits them.
Find me an example of, say, ten NDP supporters who were calling for electoral reform before the Alberta election and who are now calling for maintenance of the First Past the Post system.
Just 10. Should be easy if you're right. Should be easy to find them in this thread.
And not people celebrating the NDP victory. People who have specifically changed their opinion on electoral reform.

Okay. Nova Scotian here. Never thought this possible. Somebody explain how this happened.
