I feel pretty "meh" about the Liberals and Trudeau these days, but that is still light years ahead of hour I feel about the other 2 big parties.

The NDP party is weird for me. I tend to like their people and I wouldn't mind having an NDP MP, but I wouldn't want them governing the entire country.

The Conservatives..... I am just not a fan of Harper and can't stand the far right leaning element in that party. I have no problem with the moderates and centrists in the part, but my personal ideals make it hard to vote for the party in general because of that far right element.

The Liberals... I really do dislike their attitude at times. They really play the part of the sleazy baby kissing, hand shaking politicians. In theory, I like that they are centrist and should be versatile, but I think sometimes it makes it too easy for them to play the popularity game instead of what is best. It's a party that could be great with strong principled leader. I'm just not sure if Trudeau is the guy... not saying he isn't either, but I am not sold yet.

I have really kind of given up on who the leader of the Liberals is. The Conservatives are excellent at destroying them with attack ads. At this point, I am willing to give Trudeau a shot just because he seems like the Teflon man.
