I'm talking about both parties existing but the one that gets the least votes in a riding gets out of the way so the other one gets the seat instead of the fringe alternative.

Exactly like the left did in France.

In one riding the Liberals would get the seat, in another it would be the NDP and in another it would be the Greens and in another it would be the Bloc, in the end the goal is to block the Conservatives. Make it a habit for the parties that are closer to the center and I'm sure most people here won't care about PR anymore.

Merging parties compromises their values. Instead they should work together to pass proportional representation. We need to shift away from the 2-party system as that creates stagnation.

Again, I'm not talking about parties merging.
