Wed, 8 Jul 2009 21:40:57 +0000 http://www2.macleans.ca/2009/07/08/liberalism-is-not-a-bloodless-breviary-for-rootless-cosmopolitans/#IDComment26725839 http://www2.macleans.ca/2009/06/29/what-it-takes-2/#IDComment25897244 Actually, if you are choosing NOT to vote for any of the Candidates available... or making a statemment, if you will... you can go in and register that you did in fact come to vote... and then refuse the ballot. This is the legitimate way that your message is sent through EC that voters do not like what they have been offered. You can bet that any serious amount of refused ballots (like 40%of registered voters, for example) would get the attention of ALL the Parties. Not bothering is what has brought us to this point.

Do they work? I'd have to say yes, if you are uninterested in politics and unwilling to educate yourself about the issues during an election period. However, when there is NO election called, it borders on contemptable behaviour on the part of ANY party that puts them out.

Isn't that why the municipalities were upset that the $$ wasn't flowing?

I don't know how to post a link, so I can't put it here... but it was hilarious!

I found it disturbing.

Jack isn't likely to be the one (in my opinion)unless forced, because he would then have to convince people that propping up the Government isn't the mortal sin he made it out to be last year, LOL. However, the Bloc doesn't have so much to lose, and a trip to the polls doesn't put the bulk of their seats in danger... and so they can put Jack in an uncomfortable position. They then get to watch all three of the other parties deal with the disappointment and/or bitterness and/or humiliation that previous behaviour has left them with. Win/Win if you are a Bloc.

Either one will surely be a bitter pill to swallow for the current group of Conservatives... they should refuse to accept those votes, shouldn't they?
