What a crappy election. This feels like the provincial election, but with more potential consequences. There needs to be a shake up, but just enough to scare our politicians straight. Not an NDP majority, please. |
I'm kind of in the same quandary as I was in the provincial election. I'm not voting for the Conservatives because they have become the same power-hungry party that they accused the Chretien/Martin Liberals of being, and their policies are at times downright draconian.
And yet the NDP is a party that swings a little too wildly in the opposite direction for me. While a lot of their general policies I can agree, I'm not necessarily convinced that they can be nuanced enough to govern. If the PC's are Black, the NDP is white, and I think we need to be governed by someone who is led not by ideology, but by facts and reasoning.
So in the end, I'm basically
begging the Liberals to give me a reason to vote for them, as at least in theory they can be that Centrist party that can navigate the nuance of these issues. It doesn't even have to be a great reason. Even if it's just to counter those hilariously bad "nice hair, though" commercials.
