But you don't just get to vote for the party If you're in Beddington, you're forced to vote for a science denier if you want to vote UCP. As one of his constitutes, he represents you, and I don't want someone who believes in hoaxes making political decisions for me. It doesn't have to, necessarily, reflect on the rest of the party, but I do think it does raise the question of how he won the nominee.

At least you're honest, but I certainly care if my MLA is a bigot. I think a lot of people would. I could never knowingly vote for a racist. I guess others have different priorities, which is democracy for you, but I hardly think that not-voting-for-a-bigot is hardly an unreasonable position to take.
