As a matter of fact, it makes a hell of a lot more sense to use voter suppression tricks in ridings that are CLOSE then it does in ridings where the only thing you stand to gain is bad publicity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478584067447488835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758139357823553893.post-90928510757193272522012-02-27T10:21:05.880-06:002012-02-27T10:21:05.880-06:00*MAYBE* I should have been clearer in the opening ...*MAYBE* I should have been clearer in the opening post - but most of the seats I cited (2/3) were Liberal - I'm well aware that the Liberal/NDP vote is split at the Federal level and that some provincial NDP voters even vote Tory.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478584067447488835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758139357823553893.post-38728133259488756442012-02-27T09:44:22.845-06:002012-02-27T09:44:22.845-06:00"Last Federal election a lot of ridings in th..."Last Federal election a lot of ridings in this provincially Orange city went Tory Blue."<br /><br />You seem to insinuate that there was a significant change in seats in Winnipeg, when in fact there were only two seats that changed. One seat that the Tories had been targeting for years and another where people got fed up with the useless tool 'Maloway'.To suggest that it's an anomoly for a city to vote predominately NDP provincially and Conservative federally shows a complete ignorance of both provincial and federal politics in this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
