Ugh, that is so fucking annoying. Any time I see the conservatives winning straight up the middle… And there were some where it was the other way around, too, where Liberals could have won. I’m not sure the average person can do strategic voting, so please don’t think it’s only NDP. The problem I think is that it’s mostly the politics nerds who pay enough attention to what’s happening to properly vote strategically. Maybe I’m underestimating people but I think more normal people hear “strategic” + “Mark Carney is in the lead” -> “vote liberal.”
