I decided a while ago to vote for the party that comes closest to promising good governance, to respect the electorate, responsible spending, ministerial authority and responsibility, and ethical conduct while in office.

Unfortunately, that’s never in any parties’ platform as demonstrated in the last Ontario election. The Conservatives came the closest, but only because they didn’t have an actual platform. The other parties promised more spending, bribing voters by burying us and future generations in debt.

While I would probably never vote NDP again, at least I respected Horwath (not so much Singh).

That said, I have lost all fate in the liberal party of both federally and provincially. They seem to be in it only for themselves, and are surprised/angered when people don’t agree with them. They are no longer the liberals I used to vote for.

I thought the Liberal campaign was completely out of touch. It was simply dreadful, and they rightly deserved to be where they ended up. I got the feeling that they thought: “Well, the electorate has had four years to come to their senses. Of course they’ll vote for us—no matter what we say. Why? Well, because we’re Liberals”.
