I completely disagree with the idea that people who do not choose to display unfettered consequentialism are responsible for negative outcomes, especially when the numbers are so small that it’s barely relevant. Your view of politics is so polarized and embittered that it alienates anybody who looks at the world with shades of grey. Believe whatever you want, but if your takeaway is that the Liberal party should blame everybody else but themselves for their loss, then you will be just as rudderless as the party leadership when they lose the next election.
“especially when the numbers are so small that it’s barely relevant”
Small like all the people who voted for fake candidates as a form of protest that would have been enough to swing the vote in the Liberals’ favor? “We’re so angry that we let the person from the party that never supported any electoral reform take the seat instead of the party that tried to do something about it and failed, that will show them!”
There are consequences to your acts in life and no one can take the blame for those consequences but you.
