11. I will be voting my conscience

In minor part, because in my riding an NDP or Liberal will have about equal chances of beating the milquetoast conservative incumbent. But more importantly, I'll be voting for the NDP because they are closer to my values, and I don't really don't trust the Libs as an element of change.

I know that historically the Libs (who think they are our 'natural governing party') are adept at scaring people into voting for them so as to prevent the dreaded Con. We'll this time things are different, the NDP have undeniable cred and support and despite the all out fear mongering assault that'll take place in the last 2 weeks of the election, I think the time has finally arrived for the NDP.
