5. So lemmie get this straight:
You want the left to 'unite'. Under who/what? You REALLY think that's gonna work? I've got a theory for you:
1. Rightwing liberals will get pissed and go con
2. Leftwing liberals might not care
3. NDPers will get pissed and go independent/abstain/spoil

What's with this obsession with having a majority government? What's with this disingenuous label 'vote splitting'? The greens aren't leftist, the NDP and the Liberals are very different parties and the people who support either KNOW this. What's with this sudden terror of the Canadian-right? I don't like them that much either, but I also don't think they're the devil incarnate, and I also don't think that the vast majority of Canadians have suddenly altered their beliefs to the point of allowing a total 'neocon' takeover. In fact, as a citizen of this country I find that insulting. And I REALLY don't get where your vague insinuations about religion come from. For christ sake, it was a devout Catholic leading the country who put forth the same sex marriage bill.
