I have always believed that in our style of democracy, the electorate generally gets the government they deserve, for good or for bad. And yes, strategic voting can be effective, and if things are tight like now, seeing vote splitting happen in real time can be maddening. But, the other side of the argument is that unless the Conservatives pull off the majority, which looks unlikely at this point, the Greens will hold the balance of power in propping up an NDP government which, from a Green perspective, is the best possible outcome.
