You are very much self defeatist in this regard, and very definitely typical of your party's attitude. "Can't win, don't try". Not to mention that party funding is directly related to votes. Lazy Liberals in this province only hurt their own party.
The Liberal party loses in this province because it can't be bothered to put in the time and effort to build a base. The "rightful ruling party" arrogance does not work out here. Out here, the Liberals have to earn our trust and prove they deserve our vote. They haven't even tried.

Your partisan lens of analysis is arrogant and annoying.
As much as you'd like to believe, I don't have a party, I've voted for 4 different parties in my life. I've actually gone out, read platforms and voted for the party that best satisfies my personal wishes. You on the other hand come across as a died-in-the-wool conservative supporter. Which, in my opinion, discredits almost every political post you make on this board.
The first past the post system routinely ignores over half of the voters in a riding. As a voter, does that give you incentive to go out and vote? I'm not saying it's the sole reason for a decline in participation but it's definetely in the mix.
