Federal Election

[per]

Same situation here, fs. What does count though is that federal funding is available to parties with more than 2% of the popular vote across the county. That could be a good enough reason to vote in another seemingly futile or even useless direction. Although Elizabeth May has hurt the Greens terribly, they are a party who's basic platform isn't as out there as many think. A stink vote could help fund some opposition. A hybrid of "first past the post", and "popular vote" would suit me just fine.

Agree with FS and Per posts.
Interestingly enough, I think the greens have grown in Alberta in the last two elections, and probably for the same reason.
It was "Bill and Bill show" many years ago that said a hay bale in Alberta would win under the Conservative banner, and I for one wouldn't have bet against the hay bale.
