2015 Federal Election

[MidTowner]

Liberals way in the lead now.

Here's a neat thought I haven't seen addressed. The Liberals will move to change toward MPP or P3 or some other kind of voting system other than First past the Post. This would mean for example in the 2011 election, the Green Party would have won 12 seats, instead of 1.

So if you are thinking of voting Green, consider voting Liberal just this time around, and then vote Green next time and it will actually count!

The danger with this is that, if the Liberal Party winds up winning a majority (I am not going to speculate on the likelihood of this, but it is no longer outside of the realm of possibility with their polling numbers), there is no chance for electoral reform any time soon.

Edit: Really, if your overriding concern is electoral reform, you'd be most interested in making sure we see a coalition government between the second and third parties, and should be voting for whichever party is polling third to prevent anyone from obtaining a majority. Mostly I think voters should get to know their candidates, and vote for the most component...
