I'm going to weigh in because I'm guessing it's just a matter of time now that the Canadian government will be dissolved. (It's quite embarrassing, really, what the Liberals have been doing, well, *not* doing...I won't get into it.)

I vote by party, which is most often on par with ideology and platform. I vote NDP both provincially and federally. What I find is that whenever federal leader Jack Layton criticizes either the Liberals or the Tories (or both), I think, "Hey! That's what I'm talking about! Someone's gotta set them straight; they're messing things up and dropping the ball. You tell 'em, Jack!" Or.... "Damn, Jack, I wish I thought of that! They are messing things up and dropping the ball. You tell 'em, Jack."

And then I get a little s

d, thinking, "Damn, Jack, if only you guys had a little more clout!" And so I vote for them.

I basically wish for the day that the NDP is the opposition party at the very least. That would satisfy me. That's more clout than they have now.
