Fear mongering doesn't work because there's no guarantee even when it works, the voter will vote for you. And if voters do vote for you, they probably vote for you anyway to begin with.
Nope, I'm voting for whoever polls highest out of non-WR parties. I'd vote for my favorite party if we didn't have a broken electoral system, but we do, so I vote for my preference out of the top two in polling (unless it's clear that the outcome is already determined prior to the election, such as federally).

And I assume by "you" you aren't referring to me specifically, because I'm not voting PC. If I lived in another riding, I might though.
