How will you vote? Will you vote? I hope so.
With around fifty (yes, really) political parties registered for tomorrow's big shin-dig at the ballot box, how will you vote?
In BC, there are really only two or three important parties, BC Liberals who seem to be doing well, although I won't be voting for them, the New Democratic Party (whose leader will recieve my vote), and the BC Green Party (too conservative and single-minded for my liking). I'm tempted to vote for The Sex Party, but that'd be silly.
So, dear readers, who did you vote for? (anonymous comments accepted on this entry). Why?
I've always been curious about one specific voting question: Do you vote for a mainstream party because the alternatives don't have chance? If that's the case, how does an alternative party get votes?

I'll be blunt. I don't care who you vote for but vote for STV. 'Cause if STV had been implemented for the last election, we would have had an opposition.

this is a little overdue, but so am I...:o)
I voted NDP...I agree that having votes for the other lesser-known parties would be great, but then we'd split the vote terribly and possibly end up like germany when they voted hitler in (at least that was the situation I think I remember hearing) who only won by ONE vote...disgusting!
I think I may have sold my soul to the NDP ghouls...not that they ARE ghouls, just that I sold my soul to whoever they may be...
