Most Canadians who plan on voting for the Liberal party are more motivated to stop the Conservatives from winning the election rather than endorsing the party's vision and leader, according to a new poll released on Monday.

Instead they should vote for the NDP. The only party that truly cares about the biddle class.

ABC. Anything but conservative. FPTP is winner takes all, so vote for Liberal or NDP depending on who's more likely to get in in your area. And pray to whatever force may be that someone puts in a sensible voting system at some point.

Remember when Trudeau promised election reform when he was elected the first time?

Pepperidge Farms remembers.

We got dental and in theory pharma with this minority government. Maybe the NDP can twist their arm into voting reforms next time if we get another?

I remember seeing an analysis of FPTP and in about 70% of the elections since the 60s it favoured the Liberals against NDP and PC on a riding by riding and general election basis. It'll be a cold day in hell before they change anything.

Which is disgusting! Their job is supposed to be about doing what is best for the people who live here, not whatever best serves the interests of their party. If there were a system that was good for the people while eliminating the concept of parties, every party should be glad to do the work of implementing it.
