I have to vote for a party that I don't actually support as a part of my ABC strategy.
for the pluarity system -- bring on proportional representation!
I have to laugh at a Calgarian using that expression. You know what the "ABC" acronym stands for with "northern Alberta" hockey fans, right?Originally posted by Gainsbarre

Yes, but the context is different here Substitute "Calgary" with "Conservative".Originally posted by Inzane

Ugh, it is so painful to vote NDP (let alone admit it), but my riding (Centre-North) didn't even have a Liberal candidate until about the third week of the election. So I have to vote for the party that is most likely to defeat Prentice -- which of course won't happen given that Calgary hasn't elected a non-conservative MP in 43 years. Pretty certain this is by far the longest current streak in any Canadian city -- hell, even Edmonton has elected two Liberal MPs in the past five years. I'm not sure how long the Conservatives have been shut out of Montreal area ridings, but I suspect that this might rival the no-Liberal streak in Calgary, save for maybe a gap or two during the Mulroney years.
So I'm pretty much voting for the guy that will finish in second place. Which of course doesn't mean anything in this first-past-the-post system, so ya, wasted vote. Of course, with proportional representation, my vote would count for something, and I could actually vote for the party that I want to. I think the same could certainly be said for a conservative supporter in Montreal.
Im voting NDP this year.
Harper is gay
Scary that we have 5 people so far voting NDP. Yikes
Well I am not a fan of Anders, so no conservative
Screw the libs
I can't stand Jack Layton, no NDP
So i guess that leaves green.
There's both Libertarian and Marxist-Leninst parties in my riding as well. Tough choice!
Abstain, they all suck.
