Do you guys vote based on the overall party or your local riding?
for the first time i voted locally. I hate the federal liberals right now.. haaate iggy. However, i live in vancouver centre and we have hedy fry who is such an awesome woman that has incredible support and does a lot for vancouver and its interests so i just had to vote for her. but now i feel dirty that my vote went to the federal liberals as well.
Anyone have similar a similar issue?
I feel the same way, I'm from Toronto and I like my local party but I can't stand Ignatief. Why is it so hard for Liberals to find a respectable party leader. =(

I hope whoever is in Elizabeth May's riding decides to vote Green if they were planning to vote NDP or Liberal instead. Obviously conservatives will be conservatives, but I would love for the green party to have a voice in parliament, even if I don't entirely support their platform as a whole. she's running against another cabinet minister (a very loud one), I don't believe she can win in that riding.

He won with 43% last time, I think his popularity has been dropping, and May has been spending all her campaigning efforts in her riding this time around (I believe she usually goes around the country a bit more) - she usually gets a pretty strong result anyway (She changes ridings every time  )
PS: In case you're wondering why the NDP vote is so low that time, it's because the candidate dropped out early, if those 3000 people had known that and voted Liberal instead, Lunn would have lost. (Of course it's possible those people just wanted to show their support for the NDP in a throw away vote anyway.)

Probably because he comes off as a grumpy old man whose campaign was centered around smearing another shifty old man. And maybe because some people have trouble spelling and/or pronouncing his name...

I hate my riding... I was so pumped on voting... but now I am not.
The MPs here know how to turn a voter off so quickly. -.-
This is stupid - I just get pissed thinking about voting for any of them.

Man, I hope NDP causes a huge upset. It's counting on us youth, it all depends on whether we learned to participate in the voting process.

Just Voted NPD :-) I sooo hope the win anyway we will probably get conservative without majority and vote in 2 years....
well lets Dream :D

Ignatieff's rhetorical mismanaging of this entire campaign and subsequent failure is one of the more depressing moments in Canadian electioneering in the past decade or so.

Would love to see a conservative minority with an NDP official opposition... will be interesting if it happens like the polls are indicating, lol.
|
I voted for the Green party for the simple fact that they need more votes and a bigger percentage of the votes so they are fairly represented in debates and have a more significant budget to campaign better.

Honestly, that's what I'm hoping for. My support for the conservatives isn't total, they need someone else to hold their balls to the fire so they don't get too cocky and shoot themselves in the foot. The liberals have shown they lack balls themselves so hopefully NDP gets a shot at opposition.
Edit:Typo

My rational side is saying this happens.
My optimistic is the opposite.
Id be happy with either one though, the conservatives have had their time in the spotlight and all they've done is abuse it.

I voted on the basis of ABC.. because I'm terrified of a third term Harper with a majority mandate.
I really don't care, though, the world won't end if they ban gay marriage or start harassing me for smoking trees, ironically what I want to see is that everyone 18-25 voted.

In my eyes the only worse outcome than that would be either of those 2 parties getting a majority. The conservatives are far too religious for my liking and the NDP doesn't even understand what the term "balanced budget" means.

Cast my vote for NDP this morning. No more Harper!

both of my parents voted for NDP
