i mean, the argument itself is kind of broken.

people say "but the tories (liberals) only got 38% of the popular vote. why should they be in government?".

the answer is that they got more than 50% of the seats, and we don't form governments in this country based on how much of the vote a party gets, but on how many seats.

the actual problem is when you look at a specific riding and say "but the tories (liberals) only got 36% of the vote in this riding. why should they get this seat?". that is a more valid critique, and something that needs to be addressed.
