  • This is the same argument that my original comment is against. You just labelled the Liberal + NDP bucket as “left”.

    If we had a ranked ballot (I don’t actually want ranked ballot, but it’s useful for demonstrating my point), I would rank NDP as 1 and not rank Liberals or CPC because I don’t like either of them. Just because the Liberals are left of the CPC does not make them “left”, and does not magically earn them every NDP vote.

    Likewise, I’m sure there are Liberal voters who would rather have CPC than NDP.

    There is no collective “left” of all NDP + Liberal voters.



  • I hate this mentality of bucketing Liberals and NDP together. They’re different parties with different policies, and one of the main benefits of PR is that leftists don’t have to compromise our values and vote Liberal just to prevent Conservatives from winning. Treating it like left vs right just pushes us towards the Democrat vs Republican in the US.
