Election Eve Jitters

I can't decide who to vote for!

Of course, it doesn't matter who I vote for because Bergman, the Liberal, will get about 80% of the vote. The Liberal always does in my riding.

So my vote is just an academic exercise. Do I go Green? Or do I swing to the centre-right and vote ADQ?

Given that my vote is meaningless I'm tempted to vote for the ADQ candidate only because she's the only woman on the ballot. And I did sign the petition to get her candidature on the ballot. This could be a slippery slope towards the right for me. Next thing you know I'll be voting for Harper...maybe not.

It will be interesting to see where the protest votes go, and how many of them there are. I think a lot of people are angry and disappointed with the Liberals, which means in my riding maybe the Lib will get only 70% of the vote instead of 80%. Not much of a protest, but what can you do?

For my American friends, when you talk about "centre-right" in Quebec, that's about the equivalent of...umm...Ted Kennedy in the US. And "centre" here is Dennis Kucinich down there. Your version of "right" is our fascism. And our "left" is your Castro. We living on a different part of the spectrum up here. We've been on the left for 40 years. I don't see that changing.
