Just worried, the way this is being framed, it sounds like two leftist candidates splitting votes to enable a minority plurality victory by some ass hole on the right...That happens up here. Canada is a fairly left-wing nation, so in any given election about 60-70% of our electorate votes for centre-left or left-wing candidates. The Conservatives only ever win because the left-wing vote is fractured amongst four major parties (the Liberals, the NDP, the Bloc Quebecois, and the Greens) whereas they have spent the last couple decades with no one to compete against on the right (though the PPC is now gaining ground as a hard-right party, which is both sad for its commentary on our politics at present and amusing because it will only hurt the Conservatives by splitting the already-small right-wing vote). We used to have two major right-wing parties - the Progressive Conservatives and the Reform Party (later the Canadian Alliance) - but they merged in the early 2000s to form the Conservative Party. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
