Four years ago, voters didn't want the PC's anymore and protest voted. That's all the rationale you need. Voting for the UCP does not mean you're a scumbag #######.

Nobody is brow beating anyone for wanting the NDP out.
What is being pointed out, and rightfully so, is the concerning lack of ethics and possible criminal behaviour from the heir apparent. It is not NDP or UCP, and voting UCP certainly doesn’t make someone a scumbag. People can plan to vote UCP despite these allegations or even in light of some confirmed guilt, but pretending they don’t exist, pretending Kenney is some guy just “doing what it takes,” or excusing allegedly criminal behaviour because someone is on “your side” is hard to justify.
And for all the tremendous brow beating that went on over people protest voting for the NDP, it sure would be hypocritical to say that’s the only excuse you need to make a vote.
People need to use their minds. Not just settle on party lines and be done with it. We can demand better than fraudsters, and we should. Protest voting got us into a mess, another protest vote isn’t going to get us out. Consider the platforms, consider the people, and make an educated vote. That’s doing the bare minimum.
