I actually don't know. Seriously my vote is meaningless though, save for the $2 that some party will get from it.
As for the Liberals voting I think that this is a problem for the CPC more than anyone else. If its a close riding that the NDP looks strong in there is enough vitriol between the CPC/Lib that those voters pile over to the NDP I think. Thing is that there are no polls shoing the NDP as government. The highest I've seen was EKOS this morning who has them at 109 seats...which would be amazing, but not government.

Not anywhere near these numbers though...I wouldn't want to have to count on GOTV to deal with this. If the people voting feel strongly enough that they are going to vote for ABC candidate then its hard to counter-act.
How many people here have actually been compelled to vote by GOTV campaigns? I'm guessing its far less than 10% of us, and perhaps not even as high as 3%.
