Laurier’s settlement of the Manitoba school question was essentially what the province had offered the Conservative government in 1896 (secularization of the public-school system and provision for religious instruction at the close of each school-day), and the Manitoba proposal bore the mark of McCarthy’s influence.

 ImpeachSC
Whatever benefits such minority vetoes may have in often forcing supermajoritarian support for legislation and nominees, it is hardly a recipe for expecting judicial nominees likely to act more progressively than majoritarian politics.
It is an almost political perversity for progressives to put their hopes in a judicial process where progressivism has depended on a Blackmun or a Souter or a Warren or a Brennan turning out better than expected (or intended by their sponsors).
It is a tool Congress should explore using."[93] DeLay and his allies soon suggested a number of possible candidates for judicial impeachments, including William Justice, Fred Biery, Harold Baer, Thelton Henderson, and John T. Nixon-- judges who had made controversial decisions that had enraged conservatives.

The amounts of support given to candidates of different parties are not likely to be greatly changed - they were not when we had P.R. before - for most voters could elect within their own parties candidates who appealed to them on other grounds as well.
But if the parties did not offer candidates with a real appeal to the ethnic minorities, those minorities could elect independent candidates of their own who did appeal to them.
