Huh? Is this implying that first past the post is a flimsy defense against an upcoming conservative majority?

Our FPTP electoral system enables and encourages majority governments on a minority of votes.

Poilievre was on track to this exact scenario which was narrowly avoided by an unprecedented reversal in Canadian politics.

Regardless of your opinion on the party, we then nearly handed the Liberal party a majority on a minority of votes too and effectively turned parliament into a two-party system by gutting the NDP to avoid a conservative government (vote splitting and strategic voting are also encouraged by FPTP).

I'm far from being the meme police, but I don't think this is the template you're looking for 🤣

Not that this is significantly better (or even funny), but this is a bit closer to how the template works:

The idea is that the cheeto represents a lazy or poor attempt at preventing whatever is coming in the top panel.
