No. Not that type of shortsighted. The type of shortsighted that assumes that things will continue more or less as they have regardless of who is elected, just with different groups being screwed over at the expense of other different groups. This assumption is
wrong. There is more at stake.

Saying the Liberals haven't been a total disaster for the province in numerous ways indicates your primary concerns are economic outcomes.

First, again, you're missing the basic meaning of "total disaster". There is no "total disaster in numerous ways". You either
#### up the province, or you don't.
Second, yes, my primary concern is economic, to the baseline standard of ensuring that there
is a functioning economy. There are many versions of a functioning economy, with varying tax rates for varying groups and a whole range of policies. Then, there is what the NDP did the last time they formed a government.
