A & B: you assume that voting NDP would swing the votes from liberal to them. That. Is. Not. The. Case. In. My. Riding. I'm in a riding with so close a race historically that any vote other that liberal just guarantees a conservative seat. And I'm not going to take any action that gives the conservatives another seat.
I'm not voting for the party leader. I'm voting for my riding's candidate.
"Never let perfect be the enemy of good enough." In your words, I'm voting for "less bad".
I take it you're not much of a believer in vote whipping.
Things are going so poorly that the Conservatives is overwhelmingly going to win the next election. If that's good enough for you I can see why you're completely fixed on your support for the Liberals.
They are literally trying to stop the Conservatives winning a seat in their riding.
Your argument was "Liberals can't win so vote NDP", if they are in a riding that Liberals can win they should absolutely do what they can to prevent a Conservative majority.
I just hope Liberal voters return the favour in ridings where NDP are most likely to beat the Conservative candidate.
