      I think you may be misunderstanding my point, but it would be great if the Liberal party dropped off and the NDP (or something new) completely replaced them as the counter to the Cons. Right now they seem to keep seats because they’re not the Cons and I think the leadership confuses that with people liking them for what they do.

        So, if I’m understanding you correctly, you want a centrist party (but not the one we have), and you want it to be more like a left wing party, which we have have several others that haven’t reached prominence.

        The Green party is more centrist than others with a desire to actually deal with climate change.

        Yeah I think I have misunderstood your point because any centrist party is gonna end up sounding like the liberals and anybody as far left as the NDP are not centrist.

          No, I was speaking more generally. When I said center/left I meant it in the way the ABC people use it. I don’t like the Liberals, but I also do not want the Conservatives to win. Unfortunately that looks like where we’re headed. I just hope that if the Cons do win (which once again I do not want but I have just 1 vote), the Liberals lose big and take it as a wakeup call to change or be relegated to the perpetual 3rd place party. None of those other posts were trying to say what party I would like, sorry for the confusion.

            Ah, so because you don’t like a party you want all of us to suffer to learn a lesson.

            Dude, wake the fuck up, you’re playing into the con’s game.

              Clearly I’m not good at articulating my point so I’m going to stop trying. I don’t know what I’m saying that would benefit the Conservatives in any way. My riding is NDP with the cons playing catch up and the Greens have a better chance than the Liberals. So maybe we’re just coming from different perspectives. Voting for Liberals here is a vote for conservative.
