66. What part of "I CANNOT VOTE FOR A LIBERAL CANDIDATE IN MY RIDING" do you NOT understand?
Winning the election is zero-sum game. The Party with the most seats wins. The party with fewer seats forms the Opposition.

If the Conservatives lose enough seats, they will no longer be in power.

I spent today driving around town planting NDP campaign signs. Guess what.

THERE ARE NO LIBERAL SIGNS. NONE. ABSOLUTELY NONE. NONE. WHAT PART OF "NONE" DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND.

There is NO LIBERAL CANDIDATE in my riding.

I CANNOT vote Liberal. THERE IS NOBODY TO VOTE FOR.

So, I've chosen to do the second best thing, try to overturn the Conservative candidate by getting a very popular local politician (he's run Provincially and won for decades) elected under the NDP banner.

So please tell me, in detail, giving specifics, how, exactly, I'm supposed to vote Liberal. Move?? Are you going to buy my house? Are you going to pay my moving expenses? Are you going to help move furniture?
