Quote:I wonder what the average voter will think.
I can't claim to be an average voter, though I'm definitely not a close follower of federal politics beyond reading CBC News every few days. My preference is very much left, and I am proud to think of myself as a socialist. I was already pretty down on the Liberals for all the easy reasons, and this is just more standard Liberal bullshit that makes me hate voting for them. Liberals are the party of the status quo: A lot of compromises that benefit corporations, some moderately positive social progression, and a lot of shadiness, manipulation, and backroom dealing.
The Liberals and the CPC both work to keep themselves in power before they work to help the populace. That's something I firmly believe. I'm not saying the NDP and Greens wouldn't, given the chance, but I'd much rather give either party a chance to be assholes than vote for parties that just keeping confirming their asshole status.
