Day 22 of the Federal Election.
Looks like the PC is going for a majority. A PC majority government will be a disaster for Canada. It is nearly impossible to get rid of the PC government. However, it is still possible to prevent it from getting a majority. The way to do it is to do strategic voting.
Some may say strategic voting is useless. It only allows PC to split the vote and gain a majority just like what the Liberals did previously. That is not true as things are different now.
To begin with, now people want to get rid of the Conservative. They have no choice because 1) Stephen Dion of the Liberals does not have party leadership quality, never mind to be a prime minister. 2) The NDP party is too out of mainstream. 3) The Green party has no platform and approaching NO chance of forming government.
The most recent poll favouring the Conservative has PC with 40%, Liberals and NDP both having 20% and Green having 9 %. If the percentage translates to seats, PC will only have a minority. However, history tells us that is not the case. This is because people fool hardily spit the vote in individual riding and allows PC candidate to be elected. So, this is why strategic voting is so important.
Strategic voting would eliminate this problem. The problem with strategic voting is there is no common co-ordination and therefore do not know who and which party to vote for. But if you search the Internet, you will notice there is a guy in Hamilton Ontario doing the coordination now. So, now you do NOT have an excuse not to do it.
Forcing PC to have a minority has another benefit that most voters do not see. It is actually better for BOTH the Liberal and the NDP party. The reason is Stephen Dion will be forced to resign in the after election review. That will be good news for the Liberals, as they will have a new leader. It will be good for Jack Layton also as he will face inexperience Liberal leader. Most other people will also be happy because PC will not form a majority government. So, all people who do not like Stephen Harper, whether they are Liberal, NDP, Green and/or any other party, DO strategic voting and you will be happy.
