In North American & the UK, if you live in the wrong riding, your vote is pretty much wasted. Why even vote in Idaho if your a Democrat or New York if your a Republican.

Yeah, at least we have that.
This whole district thing in the US (didn't know the UK had it as well) is kinda stupid.

Conservatives attack liberals

NDP attacks Conservatives

Great hair though.

Personally, I'd probably throw a vote at the greens if I got a vote. NDP would be tempting, because they're more likely to be elected than the Green Party, and I'd like to keep Harper out, but I'd rather vote for who I think should actually win :/

Any predictions? I'm calling a Conservative minority.

I don't really like Trudeau, Harper, or the NDP, so I'd probably spoil my ballot if I was old enough to vote.

It was the hair

At least it wasn't Harper...

It's stupid, but the electoral college is stupider.
