Yes. Determining whether the Liberals are guided by cynicism or incompetence is a tough call. Either way, the party and the leader particularly look really bad. 

From the beginning, it seemed as though Trudeau's call for electoral reform was a desperate and poorly conceived idea from a third party to get support for anything that would serve to dislodge the Harperites. Then, magically, after the system that they had so derided gave them the same 39 per cent "majority," the system didn't seem so bad. 

Trudeau and the Liberals will pay for this. Their credibility always rested on faith rather than a judgment on their experience. I anticipate that the Gods of Irony will ensure that they are delivered to a stinging defeat at the hands of FPTP where some form of PR would have ensured them at least a share of power.
