>>>>> As for the past, I've voted mostly Liberal. A couple of times, I've voted Conservative, but yes, mostly Liberal. In the past 4 elections, it's 50-50 Liberal and Conservative, but prior to that, pretty much all Liberal.

>>>>I got a kick out of your message. I've voted both liberal and conservative in the past. It depends on the candidate and the policies they support. Sadly, most of the time the policies I've agreed with never came to pass when the candidate went into office or else the candidate I voted for didn't win.

>>My God. I almost agree with you. The only reason why I'd say not voting is not really acceptable is because it's too often interpreted by the various parties (various in Canada, anyway) as apathy, and they learn nothing from it. In that instance, I'd go in and cast a non-vote, or even a write-in, just to make sure that the parties knew I was not in favour of any of them and that it isn't just apathy on my part. Otherwise, I agree that not voting for any of the parties is acceptable. I also agree that voting for the local individual might still be worth doing.

Good luck removing this bunch. They've got bigger guns. The politicians also are very adept at the art of liafication.( apologies to GWB), so they will say what the polls tell them to say, then do what their inner devil tells them to do, once in office. Two terms max for any of them!
