Lend Us Your Vote
Many of us agree that the Conservatives should be stopped. In past elections, the NDP (Ed Broadbent) has stepped aside, so that the Liberals could defeat the Conservatives. Almost every election, the Liberals have asked NDP voters to join the Liberals in recognizing the imminent danger to Canada, and to vote against the Conservatives - and many NDP supporters have answered that call.
This election is no different, in fact, perhaps even more important. The Conservatives once again need to be stopped. People need to put aside their party loyalties and band together.
Although, there may be one slight difference this time around. With the NDP surging, and with polls putting them higher than the Liberals, perhaps this time around it is the Liberals who should lend their votes to the NDP. After all, many NDP voters have lent their votes to the Liberals, isn't it about time, it was paid back?
So much of the Liberal support has been based from progressive Canadians who viewed the Liberals as the only alternative. Well, now it would seem that the NDP are the only alternative to the Liberals.
We need a strategic voting thread pointing out where Liberals should be supporting NDP. hehe

There is not a single constituency in all of Canada where it makes sense for a progressive to vote Liberal. The Liberals are not a progressive party in any sense of the word.
There are 308 constituencies where it makes sense for a progressive voter to vote NDP.
Even if it means the Con candidate wins? Nah.
In my riding here in NB it's either Cons or Libs, and it's usually close. I can't risk the Cons winning this seat.
Attempting to organize strategic voting on a national scale is a joke. Not a particularly funny one. Individual ridings and individual campaigns can go that route, but discussing it in broad stroke terms is really just an exercise in an entirely different kind of stroking.
Interesting Paul...for some reason the liberal atlantic vote has really been the only regional liberal vote to remain decently stable. I wonder why this is...
The NDP is going to win a Majority. The Liberal vote will collapse behind the NDP, as will the Bloc and Greens. The NDP have never won the air war and now it is happening. Strategic voting is regressive not progressive. Let's make real change and get rid of that Senate. We can't have Liberals in the House if we want to do that.

The first part advocates it, then the second part condemns it
