The Liberal Party led by Mark Carney continues to gain momentum in week two of election campaigning (46%, +2), opening a double-digit lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives (34%, -4 pts) among decided voters.

    If it’s a two horse race in your riding between CPC and NDP or Green, that would make sense. If the CPC is polling very low in your riding, it would also make sense. If however it’s a two horse race between CPC and LPC, then you may be helping PP to another seat.

      Then again, voting liberal may make the status quo party feel they have that much more of a “mandate”.

        For sure. But we can’t finely target the vote in FPTP. So all depends on what makes sense for a particular riding. But in any case as they begin to govern, the Liberals favourability is going to fall.

        I’m not that person and our election isn’t the same. I respect people who don’t want to do what I want to do, or what I think they should do, and I don’t belittle or shame people into any of that. If I or a party wants to get someone else to do something, they have to present a convincing argument for that. If people don’t do what the party wants them to do, the blame should fall primarily if not exclusively on the party. In the context of our election, as a fellow voter, all I am doing is sharing my opinion of what I think the objectives of likeminded people should be and how I think we should achieve them. If you feel unconvinced, either I haven’t conveyed that well enough (I definitely haven’t), or you might be of significantly different opinion, but either way, I’m not gonna shame you for not agreeing with my opinion. ☺️
