The funny thing is, if everyone who didn't vote in the 2008 election, voted for the Greenparty, they would have won.

@BrassSnacks Personally, I vote Liberal because there values are what I like.

That whole saying "Better the devil you know" & "The lesser of two evils" seems to be the other reason why I vote the way I do aswell.

I'm not saying you should vote one party or another but I'd hope that everyone who votes, votes know what the party stands on & what they CAN do VS pick a rabbit out of their hat. :/ <3

PS: GP would be my second choice.

@chewbacca1010 ... aaaaaaaaaand then the Conservatives went and killed that, my one reason for voting.

[thequietcanadian]

if i want to vote for a party to get something done...i'll vote green. just because it's not the norm

[chewbacca1010]

@BrassSnacks Yeah but when you vote for a specific party in this country, they get a small amount of financial support from the government, so it is worth it anyway. It isn't much (I think like a buck and a half) but still, it is something.

[BrassSnacks]

There is an excuse for not voting. It's called First Past the Post. Who wants to vote when your vote doesn't even get counted. That being said I do get up and vote even knowing full well my vote wont count.

Oh and for the record. I vote Green. And no not out of protest, but because I really do think they're the best party. Proportional Rep soon please.
