You can't tell me with a straight face some new backbencher is going to stand up to their party leadership over their ethical and moral shortcomings.
You can't vote for the individual in federal and provincial elections. None of the "good on both sides" stuff works here.
On a personal note, I don't care how smart and nice a UCP candidate might come across as. I know he'll be kissing some repugnant ass and no way in hell would I vote for a candidate from that party.

So how are you any better than a UCP voter who wont vote for an NDP candidate even if they are the better candidate and representative?
NDP Candidates and Politicians are EXACTLY the same as and UCP Candidate and current politicians. Being on the NDP (or whoever) doesn't make someone a good or bad politician, the person themselves define that.
I am no UCP voter, but the NDP MLA's in office now can be just as snaky, back biting, dishonest and immoral as any current UCP MLA. They CAN be, not all are. Just like not every UCP MLA and candidate are.
This province is better with a mix of representatives from both parties. The best candidates should win, not the party people hate less.
