My perspective is that all three of the parties are not that different. But, of the three, the NDP is the best choice for more egalitarian government. My perspective of the three's platforms was:
- Conservative: Stifle, cut, balance.
- Liberal: Borrow, spend and cut, balance.
- NDP: Tax, spend, balance.
So, not that different. But different enough for me to decisively choose the NDP (if anyone has seen my utopia thread, you'll know I'm in favour of tax and spend.)
A lot of Liberal supporters like to make out like there's a huge difference between the Conservatives and the other two. For myself, especially after Chretien/Martin, I don't see it. All three are not that different (but the NDP is still the best). Carol Goar, who I feel is the best columnist that the Toronto Star has, wrote an article on the accomplishments of the Conservatives. Well worth taking a look.
Time to give credit where it is due: Goar
