In the last few weeks I've heard a lot of people saying things like "I'm sick of the Conservatives so I think I'm going to vote for the Wildrose Party," or "it's time for a change so let's support Danielle Smith." This is ridiculous! There are more than two choices in this province and we don't just have to choose between the right leaning Progressive Conservatives or the ultra-right leaning Wildrose Party!
For all of you who think the Wildrose party is a legitimate choice for you because you don't like the PCs, I'd like to challenge you to complete the Vote Compass before you make up your mind. I have first hand knowledge of two people who thought the WRP was their only choice and after completing the Vote Compass survey, they both found themselves leaning to the left, more in line with the Liberals and NDP. How eye opening!
Now, the purpose of this posting is not to sway anyone one way or another, but to help point out that there are choices! I'm not naive, I know that a lot of people will take the Vote Compass and probably arrive exactly where they expected, but I would guess there are also a lot of people who might be surprised at their outcomes. Just take a minute to really understand what ALL of these parties represent before you jump on somebody else's bandwagon.
