Strategic Voting & the Green Party
Time goes by fast, and every election it seems nothing's really changed very much, and strategic voters are still trying to keep their least favorite out of power. This leaves the country with a government that is definitely not my favorite.
If I was to wait to see if it was a close race, and then vote for the party I like the best (but not the most), I see it as throwing my vote away. I vote Green no matter what. I'll tell you why I see this as strategic.
By voting Green, I send a clear message to the Liberals & Conservatives that I'm not going to be swayed by the voting race, but that I instead choose to show my support of a strong focus on ecology.
When you're in the voting booth next spring know that a great many people are standing together on this, and that Green Party support is growing. As the party has gained more support, our government has increased it's focus on the environment, because they don't want to keep losing votes to the Green Party, which is a party that has matured considerably in the last few years.
I've noticed many green slogans and statements being made by the other parties, and it seems that everyone is talking about being green. Would you vote for a party that's evidently all talk, or a party that has been green from it's inception? The exception here is the NDP, but I'm talking about the Green Party, who are very different from all of the other parties.
My strategy is to vote for the party I believe in.
