You are "cooking-with-gas" today Winston!
What can I say? Strategic voting arguments p*ss me the f*ck off! I believe it cheapens the whole process. By limiting voter choice, perceptually or in reality, it is tantamount to taking away others' right to make their own choice. If you want to waste your ballot in such a manner, fill your boots, but please refrain from advocating for others to do the same.
The Tories won because they won the most votes and the most seats. Simply put, they did a better job of convincing Canadians to support them. Here's a novel idea: why don't the other parties propose something different and convince Canadians (including those who voted Tory last time) to choose them, and stop relying on their pedigree and strategic voting arguments to win the day?
