Seeing the 5 main Canadian parties graphed for social and economic views at CBC's Vote Compass, really drives home the point of how badly the left vote is split. Compounding on this problem is our lovely abortion of an electoral system where 38% of the vote= 46% of seats (while a party with 7% of the vote receives none). It also makes the news that Ignatieff has preemptively poopooed the idea of a coalition troubling, and essentially assures another Conservative minority government if the Libs don't manage to woo in the campaign. This might be a tactic to shut-up Harper's (hypocritical) 'coalitions are undemocratic' rhetoric, but I don't see it being very effective.Cheers to all going into this election, let's try and keep it civil. Also lets try and replace the Conservatives.
