No such thing.
1) Being able to choose freely is never a waste
2) Many of the smaller parties have gained popularity and each election the recieve more votes it helps them gain momentum because
- If they recieve 2% of the votes or more they get money each year for their campaining
- Word of Mouth
15 minutes left to vote!!
(Election coverage cancelled Beverly Hills :( lol) |

I would not have guessed that you were a Conservative voter.
They'll probably come close, but in order to get a majority they need support in Ontario and it just won't happen, not even with both the Liberals and NDP promising to raise taxes. |

Ok so unoffically Global has declared a conservative minority...
If this truly becomes the outcome can someone please tell me if anything positive came from this election... or was it just a waste of money and time??
Besides mixing up the seats a bit... |

I can think of at least two positive things:
1) It keeps the Liberals out for another four years;
2) It hopefully sends a message to the Liberals that they need to do better than a weak orator, a carbon tax, and a lot of smugness in order to win an election.
Conservatives should want the Liberals to be offering real competition, because otherwise Harper will pander - as he has with the auto companies. Unfortunately they still have not learned their lesson, and we can only hope that another defeat (let's not forget that the election was partially a response to a challenge they issued, or more like a "dare") will drive the message home.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I hope that this will eventually bring some balance back to the political parties. The Liberals are almost as far left as the NDP; people used to vote for them because they were moderate. After Mulroney, I probably would have voted for them if I'd been old enough to vote. |

agreed.
I'd seriously consider Liberal if Martin or Bill Graham or someone like them (and ideology) ran as leader. But this green shift Liberals just don't appeal to me |

I was born and raised in Alberta.
The conservatives must've put something in the water...
PC wouldn't necessarily be my first choice, but we don't have many right-wing options.
