Which, under a PR d'Hondt system, would have given the PCs 49 seats instead of just 2. So they would still have lost big, but it wouldn't have been a total annihilation. (See below)Campbell still got 16% of the vote.
Ironically, Trudeau might have felt better about the upcoming election if he managed to ram through proportional representation, because doing so would almost certainly benefit him - and the smaller parties. (I compared the 1993 and 2021 elections below.)
1993 (source)
2021 (no source, but you can go here)Votes 13179210 of 19906796 (33.80% abstention).

- Reform (19.42%): 57
- PC (16.59%): 49
- BQ (14.01%): 41
- NDP (7.13%): 21
The next party to obtain a seat would be Reform instead of LPC for 20135 votes.

Note that my calculations set "spoiled and blank votes" to zero. I suppose if I really wanted to, I could be more specific. But why bother?
