What either proposed is quite different from what Murray is suggesting.<br /><br />Having said that to suggest that this is about country is pretty farfetched in my mind's eye.<br />If one is for country than why wouldn't they just vote NDP which has already said that they would enact proportional representation and thus ensure each vote counted. <br /><br />I also don't think that a strategy of doing this is going to work, just like strategic voting does not produce the results they intended, based on faulty data. susansmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02573558646874765432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-89739991274726582312013-03-19T12:00:08.621-04:002013-03-19T12:00:08.621-04:00it is a shame, Owen, that what is so clear to so m...it is a shame, Owen, that what is so clear to so many is opaque at best to those in positions of power and responsibility.Lornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741324981120408977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7884128379999766348.post-26198971315099100192013-03-19T11:39:22.083-04:002013-03-19T11:39:22.083-04:00If these folks continue to put personal ambition a...If these folks continue to put personal ambition ahead of country, Lorne, they will bear personal responsibility for the disaster ahead.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.com
