Tell me then which party I should vote for, given the following:

1. I am somewhat of a fiscal conservative, and given the NDP's track record whenever they've been in charge of a province, I don't trust them to run the finances of the country. Say what you will about the gun registry and other Liberal programs, but at least they've given us eight consecutive balanced or surplus budgets.

2. I am a social liberal and disagree with the Conservative Party on most of their non-fiscal policies.

3. I don't believe in wasting my vote on a party that stands no chance of winning (Green Party, Marijuana Party, etc.).

So given that, who should I vote for? While I'm certainly not happy about everything the Liberals have done in the last 12 years, overall I feel they've given us good government. Since I have serious problems with the other two major parties, the Liberals are my only choice.

And as I've mentioned before, I would very seriously consider voting for a fiscally conservative/socially progressive party if one existed. The PC Party would have had my vote in 2004 if they hadn't merged with the Alliance.
