Canadian Elections

After surfing around, it occured to me that people may indeed vote for parties and leaders based on how the leader looks rather party policy although it does influence things as well.

Some of the things I noticed mainly from SomethingAwful forums:

Liberal Party

Paul Martin - Current PM and party leader

Our 'centrist' party. Nothing good, but voted in just because any other option will never be elected and people are afraid of the Conservatives.

As for me... if Bloc Quebcois ran in all of the provinces, I might vote for them since Duceppe seems the most competent out of all of them. Let's all leave Canada and call ourselves Quebec or something Cool

Duceppe looks like the emperor from Star Wars.

And I seem to be the only one who voted Kaiser. So sorry Sad

.

I guess most people aren't Canadian, don't care, or aren't old enough to care.

Apparently Conservatives have a lead. Depressing.

Oh, and I'm only doing NDP because of the Liberal scandal.
But since I'm going to be working full-time as a teacher in a year, I need to think about money and taxes... so maybe I'll vote Liberal again? Who knows.

I like the Liberals, but Martin doesn't look very dependable. I want the PM to atleast look like he went to college.

I actually don't mind a Conservative minority government. They have some nice fresh ideas, the only beef I have with them is they are too pro-American and religous.

Take away religon from politics and 'stand up for Canada' and not the US then I will be happy to support them.

The best outcome in my opinion is another minority government either Liberal or Conservative. Keeps them on a tight leash and in check.

My vote resides in Toronto, while I reside in Ottawa. This means I cannot vote. (Oh, I can but I'm too lazy to, and I just watched four episodes of Carnivale in a row and I need to go to bed, 'night)

Oh yeah, I'd vote NDP. Their platforms are excellent but never fare well with the public. "So... We take a bit of money from everybody, and make our children's future's better, and make sure we take a little bit more from the rich because they can afford it."

Liberal Voter: I like my money now, who cares about my kids?
Conservative Voter, Part One: I'm rich, screw you.
Conservative Voter, Part Two: They letting them boys marry each other, tha' ain't right.
Youth Voter: I'm jaded and don't care about my future, though I'll be kicking myself in a few years because the Liberals or Conservatives will rearrange my money to make me have little to none.
