I just found out I’ll be out of town for election day so I’ve got to do the advanced polling this Saturday. I still haven’t decided what to do, so this complicates things.

I still haven’t been swayed from my original position. The debates, while interesting, didn’t address my problem. Here’s my criteria:

  1. The Conservatives don’t get in power, and
  2. Failing the above, the Conservatives only have a minority
  3. Platform-wise I would be relatively happy with either the Liberal or NDP agenda
  4. If the Liberals were leading in the polls I’d likely vote NDP
  5. The riding I’ll be voting in has gone almost entirely Conservative over the last few decades (it’s a rural riding)
  6. If there’s a chance this riding could go Liberal I’d probably rather vote for them because Liberals are preferable to Conservatives
  7. If the riding is certainly going Conservative I’d maybe vote NDP to show support.

So, given all these things, I need to make a decision. I’d love to hear any thoughts on the matter to help my decision.
