Am I interpreting this graphic wrong? Will a change in vote method lower our options?

While we have "2 superpowers" here in Canada, at least we have 7 represented parties, the other methods have less overall representation?

We don't have 7.

Vacant isn't a party, so that makes it 6.

"Independent" isn't a party, each member should count as their own party (so 8 parties total) or none of them should count as a party (5 parties total).

I don't think tasmania is a valuable comparison considering it is not a country, and has a population smaller than Kitchener Ontario.

But I think your point that MMP reduces party diversity is possibly valid since imo it locks in existing parties.
