Ok... so it's election time again in Canada. It wasn't that long ago, that we voted for a Prime Minister (less than 2 yrs)! Usually, they're every 4 years... For my American friend... we have a different voting system here in Canada than the US. We have to vote for a local MP, based on who we want to win the PM seat. In other words, If I want the NDP's to win, I have to vote for the NDP candidate in my riding. The party with the most seats elected, is voted into power. Stupid system, in my opinion.
Regardless of that- I plan to vote. Many people don't. I don't understand that. Change will never happen if people don't start taking action and voting. SO many say "why? the person I'd like to win won't get in anyway"... Well, if EVERYONE who said that voted, it's quite possible the underdog would win!! So with that in mind, I plan to vote for who I want to win, and not strategically. By strategic, I mean, voting for a party that I
know has a chance of winning (even though I don't prefer that party/candidate), just to ensure the party I
don't want to win,
doesn't get elected. Make sense?! Hope so!! lol
