Yeah I guess I forgot about the Greens, good point. I haven't looked at how the vote broke down across the country but I would assume the main hotspots for NDP/Green battling for that slice of the vote would be probably be focused on the Island and not as much elsewhere.
I just can't get past the muddled, middle of the road, try to please everyone approach that ballot ranking creates, as others have mentioned that's how the Frankenstein Stelmach and Redford monsters were created.
