What to notice
FPTP — First-Past-The-Post. One vote, one winner per riding. Today's Canadian baseline.
Gives the leading party about 4 points more seats than its vote share.
STV — Single Transferable Vote. Rank candidates in a multi-member district. Multiple winners.
Seats are won candidate by candidate inside each multi-member district, and the totals still land near vote share: the ABUCP takes 54% of the seats on 53% of the vote. No third party reaches a quota anywhere. The ABUCP still wins a majority of the seats.
