It's clear that with strategic voting all of the opposition parties would be better off. We would elect a Liberal minority with strong representation from the NDP and Bloc, one Green and two independents.
The site features recommendations to beat the Tories in each riding, with polls giving current standings.
On their blog, they quote Elizabeth May in yesterday's Toronto Star:
May urged Canadians to do all they can to throw Prime Minister Stephen Harper out of office, including strongly suggesting they shouldn't vote Green if another candidate has a better chance at defeating a Conservative.
"We are too close to the edge of a global apocalypse," May said in an interview. "We have got to grab the opportunities we have. And, clearly, the contribution Canadians can make to a global solution is to get rid of Stephen Harper."
"I'd rather have no Green seats and Stephen Harper lose, than a full caucus that stares across the floor at Stephen Harper as prime minister, because his policies are too dangerous," she said.
If there was ever a time for strategic voting, this is it.

I agree. Have you seen this similar initiative as well? Pass it around.

Thanks for dropping by Debra. Yeah, I saw the Avaaz one and posted about it yesterday. Their fundraising appeal is doing very well. Here's hoping people start paying attention to strategic voting this time around.
