We deserve better.

And of course PP wasn't even a choice.

The thing about elections is, we have to make the best choice we can from the available options at that time.

And, given the options available during the last election, Carney was the more rational choice.

Were Layton still around, I suspect things might have been quite a bit different.

The NDP still deserved more seats. They worked really hard and were able to pass a few important bills even as a third place party in parliament. The liberals took credit for them. Then on top of it, Carney sweet talked his way into gaining the NDP vote.

I'm not saying the NDP should've become the leading party. Rather that we needed them to have enough seats to pull their weight and provide a counter balance in parliament, especially in a minority government.
