I've always thought voting by party affiliation was a bit... odd. It seems to be a particularly American phenomenon that people identify so strongly with their party of choice. Around here at least, I don't often hear people declaring 'I'm a Liberal' or 'I'm a Conservative.'
That said, the party that most often seems to represent me best ideologically is NDP. I have voted Liberal in the past, but only in close races where I have a strong preference for the Liberal platform over the Conservative. To date there hasn't been a Conservative platform that I've agreed with.

Yup. If nothing else, you have to admire Mr. Layton's spirit.
