Perhaps I didn’t pay as much attention to this last time, but there seems to be a fairly new phenonenon of Strategic Voting websites, all aimed at removing Conservative candidates. There always seems to be some venom at the ruling party, but with the Liberals in disarray, there is a new method of trying to defeat the conservatives. Here are three strategic voting websites:
The first two present target ridings, and the third and fourth links are places where people can register to transfer their vote (an interesting concept in it’s own right). I’m still not happy that people have to resort to this–proportional representation is a better way to make use of the popular vote numbers. But, I will be very interested to see if this can make any difference, especially with the NDP surging and the Liberals falling.
