I know many people who voted NDP knowing full well it would likely affect their employment directly, purely because they couldn't let their personal gain outweigh what they perceive as larger social issues.
I think people that think this is an aberration are in for a surprise.

So, for example, a majority of Conoco employees layed off today knew this would happen when they voted NDP, but chose to take one for the greater good of Albertans?
