Makes perfect sense to me to vote against a party.
In Canada we have 3 main parties (4 in Quebec) and then a few 'serious' fringe parties.
If on a 1-10 scale you rate: Party A is 7, Party B is 6 and Party C is a 2. Then seems perfectly rational to care more about Party C losing than who wins between Party A or B in particular if you know based on history that Party A isn't going to win your riding. Yeah - it sucks for Party A, but the voter is acting in their best interest by voting for Party B in that case.
