I think that is a mistake.

Vote.

I suggest you vote for the underdog, even if the party he or she represents
doesn't have a prayer: it erodes the power of the big abusers.

The Progressive Conservatives were handed a major lesson after Brian
Mulroney abused the Canadian taxpayer.  This was just.  This was the will
of the people.

Now, the Liberal Party has failed to learn that valuable lesson.  The will
of the people should be exercized again.

The New Conservatives do not deserve to replace the Liberal
taxpayer-abusers.  Not yet.

Give the NDP a chance, or give the Green Party a bigger share of the vote,
but help the people express their will.

IMHO
