2012 NDP leadership convention

Fixing IRV would probably guarantee no conservative governments in Canada for a long time.

So can is there anyone who is electable?

Do Conservatives get to gerrymander the ridings like the winning party does in US? Is gerrymandering even reasonably possible in Canada because there are two opposition parties? Seems to me like all strategic voting failed last election because of the rise of NDP.

Geez. It's not often that I can understand every single word of a paragraph in French. That can't be good for Paul, can it?

If it wasn't for his lack of French, Paul would be a great candidate. I'm tempted to keep him in my #2 spot.

2 words here, that I didn't know.

Chances of all 3 parties getting over 90 seats in next election(assuming they expand the total number of seats)?

So will many BC seats swing to NDP?

[LastVoter]

So are there really no inner suburbs in the 905 area that would be voting NDP? I would think that some Interior BC seats would swing towards NDP. Seems to me only Vancouver South is a natural swing in the Vancouver area, the rest are either way too suburban or the fundie land(valley). Vancouver Island seats also seem somewhat easy to swing to NDP.

So would you say Conservatives would get a majority with only 35% of the vote again? What if Rae and Muclair cooperate and let the liberals run in the suburbs and NDP run in the cities?
