It just seems so odd though because the two parties seem so opposite on various points? I guess people are just much more partisan than what I would expect/hope. I would expect that the 2nd choice for most Liberals would be CPC and vice-versa...they seem the most congruous in terms of platforms, priorities, etc.
Is nobody an option? Because for most CPC voters I would think that would be most honest 2nd choice that they would have.

As for the NDP, I think it may have to do with them being still thought of as a minor party and the real race being between the Libs and CPC so the NDP are looked at as not really having a chance of mattering that much so why not say them rather then a "real" threat like the Liberals.
