"Strategic voting" about the sickest thing I've heard of.

Not rocket science there, Sweetie. You mark your choice on a piece of paper and add them up and if your man gets the most votes he/she is the winner. I've probably voted in 25 elections at various levels so I think I have an inkling!
. Have any more ideas you want to run past me?

How does this preclude strategic voting?
You can't answer it.
may as well face it JLM these pricks are experts at telling you what they think you want to hear making promises that you want to happen. Once they are elected, they wouldn't wipe their a$$ with you or your interests. Kinda like tv preachers.
Slade's people called three times. He's Sudbury and my Markstay phone number wasn't a clue. Liberals? Two calls and the speaker never once referred to the candidate. At least when NDP called here, it was the guy from my riding.
Mail-order bride?
That explains a lot.
Well, first you get all snuggle and intimate with the gal (or guy) of your choice, then start kissy-facing some, maybe some clinching and a caress or two, and voila!
Oh, wait. You said "elections." With an L.
Never mind.
With the way some people post around here, it's almost as if they actually think that's how you conduct an election.
Cuz it's none of the Union's friggin' business.............they have their noses into far too much stuff as it is. They should just stick to a role of safety on the work site and let the managers run the business.
Speaking for myself there ,Corduroy, the way I've been voting for 50 years seems to work, so why knock it?
The government regulates workplace safety. If it's the union's only job to concern itself with workplace safety, then they have an interest in politics.
Too easy.

Why knock strategic voting? Because it's not the way you do it?
Maybe because it's counter productive. The purpose of an election is to determine who/what is most popular. How does voting for something/one you don't like expedite that end?
It's a cartoon, bozo. Not surprising you don't know the difference. Ironic that you posted a meme in your frustration. Take a Valium.
Canadian almost always vote out governments they don't like. Rarely do we vote in a government. Strategic voting is just one way of voting out a government. Not much has changed, only the name.
I meant "popular" in terms of what the people want? Not popular as in personality! Savvy?
I remember an episode on the Waltons. Some hot shot pretty boy with a good line of shyt comes to town to run for sheriff. Goes all around making promises and buying votes with various favors. Even lands ole John Walton a big contract for some wood benches to be made. Pretty soon John Boy, who runs the local paper , becomes aware of what the deal is after a convo with the candidate's campaign manager. So, he prints the truth in the local paper and pretty much destroys the credibility of the candidate and the incumbent keeps his sheriff job. Of course the favors disappear along with the furniture contract as well,. That was an episode of a tv program. But not far from the truth in politics IMO. Kinda jaded here but I don't see any Abe Lincolns out there. Maybe a honest Lady who is qualified may run for prez some day. That's when I might vote again. For someone who cares more about people, than protecting their own legacy.
