The seat make up would look more like the left if we had a more fair and accountable proportional representation over the obsolete first past the post.

FPTP was fine when elections were held within a riding, and results were delivered by horseback. You were voting based on a local candidate, not the national party.
Then the railroad, telegraph, telephone, and internet were invented, politics became national, and we’re still using FPTP.
