| Liberals and NDP one party now |
| 06.10.04 (12:25 pm) [edit] |
|
There is no chance of Liberal majority. The Conservatives and Liberals are tied. 32% each. The NDP have no hope in hell of forming a majority. They are at 17%. The best case scenario now, is a Liberal NDP minority government. For this reason, I ask supporters of both parties to vote strategically; the Liberals and NDP are essentially one party now. If you are in a riding where the only parties capable of winning are Liberal and conservative, vote Liberal. If, on the other hand, you are in a riding where the only parties capable of winning are NDP and conservative, vote NDP. Finally, if you are in a riding where the only parties capable of winning are Liberal and NDP, vote with your heart. NDP concerns about Paul Martin are ill-placed. The Liberals will not be able to pass anything nasty, otherwise the NDP will vote against it and the government will collapse. Furthermore, the argument that ever vote for the NDP will bring them more Federal money is equally ill placed. If the conservatives get in they said they would scrap such a system. It would be a shame if a small number of voters from either party cast a vote that gives a Conservative member a win in a two horse race. Do not cast a Nader vote. |

Voting matters are complicated this time 'round by the new funding policy put in place by Chretien on his way out. I like to think that it was Jean's way of saying "fuck you" to Martin. Anyway, the policy goes like this: no matter if you win or lose, each party will get $1.75/vote. I am in a riding that is NDP to the core. I am Liberal, both socially and fiscally, but I am going to vote Green Party, since they are left wing, and I think they can use my $1.75 more than either the liberals or the NDP.
