NS Election – small dead animals

The polls are pointing to a Liberal rout of the incumbent New Democrats, with the PCs lucky to pick up table scraps. Pretty thin gruel out here for a small-c conservative. The local PC candidate is quite frankly a lightweight unfit for office. So do I vote for her anyway (she will finish a distant third in my riding, guaranteed) or just spoil my ballot? I’ve no intention of voting Liberal or NDP.

Edit: Obvious spam is obvious.

I would rather have a root canal than pay good money to listen to David Axelrod.
Also, how does the following enhance the CV of a political operative?:
“He also appeared several times on The Tonight Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Late Show with David Letterman.”
The blurring of the line between politics and celebrity/entertainment is a sad statement on our society.

Oh well, better Liberal than NDP.

I could lmao over people choosing libs as an improvement to dippers …. but I live in Manitoba and suffered through 3 consecutively worse terms under the local commies.

The last PC government became flat-out incompetent at the end of its tenure, after Rodney MacDonald took over from John Hamm. Voters haven’t forgotten that, and the party has been ineffective in opposition. So it’s unsurprising that for this “throw the bums out” wave, it’s the Liberals who benefit.

I get the impression that Maritime Liberals are similar to European Liberals: they like free-ish markets and controlled spending. Sort of like Decaf Classical Liberals.

Afraid not, LAS. I think Maritime political choices can be characterized as “Left” in the NDP, “Left to Left-Centre” in the Liberals, and “Left-Centre to Centre” in the Progressive Conservatives. Even the federal Conservatives out here tend to sound more like PCs than not (there are some exceptions but mostly in New Brunswick).
