They are virtually identical to the Liberals on every important issue, yes they are probably 1% better then the Liberals, that doesn't matter because as long as we have a party consensus like this this country is fucked.
because we lack the ability to just vote "no competence" in all parties, what ever out come happens those who do not vote a presumably fine with it. as almost half of all eligible voters never turn out anyways.
you want to change the conservatives party? join them, talk to your local conservative candidate, head on down to one of the party offices and spend a day off just chatting with people. that will do a million times more than just not voting will.
then your tactics were ineffective. or, as good ol mad max has implied, they party is broken to its core and unsalvageable. if it is the former, not votging will do nothing, if it is the latter, not voting will do nothing.
Same here. but if i did not have a PPC candidate in the area, i would vote for the candidate i thought would represent me and my area the best. whether that was a con lib or ndp
a lack of a vote is only important in places where voting is mandatory. in places like canada that have between a 60-70% voter turn out. It means so little as to mean nothing.
any time i did not want to vote for one of the ruling parties, i always voted one of the numerous independent parties that pop up everywhere. i was one of maybe 1000 votes in my area for the Canadian libertarian party last time round.
if you are in a cpc dominated area where hes likely going to win regardless you can start saying you will purposely vote for anyone that could possibly beat them to beat the cpc until they stop disrespecting their base
my most feared outcome in this election is Scheer leading the country for the next 4 years, as it'll pretty much just be the same destructive policies as the past 4 years, but under a Conservative government that'll push everyone right back to the Liberals, especially with the left consolidating to get rid of a Conservative government like they did with Trudeau to get rid of Harper, and like the Cons are trying to get the right to do with Scheer to get rid of Harper
the way I see it, voting NDP, Green, or Liberal is a vote for 4 more years of leftist policies, a vote for Scheer is a vote for 8 more years of leftism, just slightly less radical for the first 4
i think it will be minorty govt, liberals will attempt to form get defeated, attempt to form collation with ndp but it will be very strained and probably wont last long
