Really no reason to even think about voting for Liberals now that the whole strategic voting thing isn't even plausible thing with the current polling.

Strategic voting is still totally a plausible thing in my riding. Conservatives are consistently at 40% or so voter count, so I either vote for the liberal candidate that has been able to beat the cons by 1%, or I split the vote and hand the cons another riding.

You could always split the conservative vote instead by voting for one of those crazy people parties that end up on the ballot but you've never heard of before election day

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, I could not split the conservative vote because I wouldn't vote conservative in the first place. In my riding I have one choice and one choice only, and that's to vote for the non-conservative candidate most likely to win, which happens to be liberal. Voting any other way is just throwing away my vote, which is a vote for the conservatives.

You could not, would not, split the vote?

Would you split it, in a boat?
