There surely is better than Liberals...
Were they on the ballot, though?
We have to pick from the options that exist, not the ones we wish existed.
We need to take this opportunity to push for Proportional Representation. This will keep the smaller parties on the ballot (and more people will vote for them).
It would be cool if the various voting reform advocates could agree on which of the various alternative to FPTP would be best.
I'm not Canadian, but NDP and Greens weren't good?
They have some good policies (as well as a few unreasonable ones), but in a lot of parts of the country they don't run viable candidates.
I always vote NDP, but it depends on the MP in your riding. Some people didn't have an NDP candidate to vote for, and some people voted strategically so they didn't split the vote and the liberals would get in over PP.
The seats the NDP did win were generally NDP strongholds. An example is that Wpg Centre had Leah Gazan running, and she has a really good reputation in that area because she does really good work, and she was the only NDP in the prairies who kept her seat!
