I was considering sitting the next election out because I'm incredibly frustrated by the main two parties. Neither are giving me reasons to vote for them.
As a classic centrist swing voter, I'm fully ready to embrace this fresh new party.
Being open to this is indeed fine, if not desirable...........but aside from waiting for a detailed platform (I read what they posted........its very short on specifics),
@picard102 is correct in as much as if you lend this party your vote, for it not to be a waste, they need to be polling credibly both nationally and in your riding. If the winner in your riding is a foregone conclusion, for better or worse, then a vote that's a 'flyer' might be fine, but best to be certain you don't inadvertently elect or re-elect a worse option.
Yes and voting for Jill Stein will save america.
While I agree, as I note above that its important not to waste a vote, particularly if that results in a different/lesser election outcome than you have liked to see, I would suggest its premature to dismiss that this party might be a credible option by the time October '25 rolls around. Certainly, that's a high mountain to climb; but given a lot of Canadians currently feeling that 'None of the Above' is a preferable choice to 'Any of the above'; if they are well funded, its not out of the question they could contend, its just too early to know.
The Greens who ought to have been a credible spoiler or partner to any other party have so shot themselves in the foot, again and again...........that there really does seem to be an opening.
