Actually, its $1.75 per year. The Greens pick up $7 dollars per vote over the course of a 4 year mandate.Originally posted by KrazyHorse
And since, as I recall, it's 1.50$ for each vote, the 10$ a month I give to the NDP should, over the course of a four year election cycle, make me worth 320 votes to them.

This is why I vote Green - they are the only ones with a new perspective. Voting for major parties just ensures we stay on the old-world merry-go-round where nothing really changes.Originally posted by Asher

0.1/10 on the troll meter ( I think I am pretty much the only "Newfie" on here.) But you score well in the threadjacking category and along with Tinkai, score 10 for 10 in both ignorance and idiocyOriginally posted by KrazyHorse
So we're up to:
a) A religious dictatorship
b) A province full of poor, drunk fisherman that talk like ****ing retards
On the election, the voting station here is in a church hall with all the windows closed . With a forecast in the high 20s, it will be an oven in there.
But ASHER, voting is ALWAYS worthwhile . .. WHY?? because we can vote and there are billions who never have that opportunity. So VOTE.Last edited by Flubber; June 28, 2004, 10:12.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

People shouldn't vote just for the sake of voting, that's how you break democracy.
Only vote if you are informed, know what the party stands for, and agree with it.
If you don't know anything about the parties, or don't know of one that you agree with, the best thing for you to do is NOT VOTE.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

It wasn't sarcasm. I think EVERYONE should vote*... I make the effort every time even if my riding will be a huge landslide . This is practice renders my vote largely irrelevant in that it changes no results but it is never irrelevant to exercise the right.Originally posted by General Ludd

* The term "vote" includes making the necessary effort to inform oneself to the degree necessary to make an intelligent choice. Even if you dislike ALL the choices, the candicates are never identical and interchangeable so there should always be one that qualifies as least offensive to you.You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Following up, someone like Asher is relatively well informed and would have some competing concerns in ascertaining who to vote for. It would atually be an interesting thought process since where exactly can a homosexual fiscal conservative park his vote??The NDP would be the opposite of Asher fiscally and he has railed against the Liberals so long and loud that I can't see a vote for them. That leaves the Conservatives, although their stand on homosexual issues isn't exactly designed to appeal to a gay voter. What matters more, overall fiscal beliefs OR do you vote on the single issue?
Also the candidates . .. I have voted for candidates when I disagreed with their party's views when I believed that candidate would provide strong representation.

Now Agathon, I don't think Asher is that stupid to vote for any party that has the word "progressive" in its title.
Flubber, I'm faced with the same thing in the US. I vote if they can match say 80-90% of my views, or at least a majority.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.

Until recently, our main conservative party was called the "Progressive Conservatives". Have formed a number of governments, too, both nationally and provincially. In fact, in most provinces, they retain that name."The French caused the war [Persian Gulf war, 1991]" - Ned
