With a week to go in the Ontario provincial election, there is increasing talk of strategic voting by those who see voting Green as a vote for the Conservatives. Here are a few rebuttals to that argument - which one(s) describe you! Be bold, Vote Green, Vote for Andrew West.
Good Government
Good government is founded on prudent planning and rational, evidence-based decision-making. It needs to engage with, and be responsive to, the concerns of all Canadian citizens. The critical first step is an end to first-past-the-post voting, an end to false majorities, and the creation of a voting system that ensures all Canadians have a voice in our government.
The Green Party is the only party committed to ending whipped votes. MPs from the other parties in Parliament routinely face whipped votes – they must vote the party line or face punishments, such as not being allowed to speak in the House or even being thrown out of the party. Green MPs will be free to put their conscience and their constituents first.
