I dislike the liberals because provincially they don't really stand for anything.
I am socially liberal and fiscally conservative. During Paul Martin's last term I voted liberal in the federal election because at the time Stephan Harper's Cons were anti-gay marriage and I just felt I couldn't vote for a party that had such a rigid stance against a social issue. This is the only time I've voted "left".
in the last election they changed their tune to "well the SCC has ruled and the law is the law" meaning they were going to leave gay marriage alone. I then switched my vote back to the Conservatives.
I have mentioned in this thread many times, if Jim Dinning were to start his own party and even if it was to the left of the PCs, I would vote for them, heck i'd probably volunteer on his campaign. I was staunchly against Ted Morton as I found him far too socially conservative.
Give me options, and I'll switch my vote, but until a legitimate alternative comes up, I will be PC.
