I past elections most people didn't have a choice. They lived in riders that where safe for one party or another. Some where lucky enough to live in swing riders where two parties had a chance to win, assuming one of those two parties is the one that you supported. There may have been a couple three way races, as well.
Now the NDP can come through like a bowling ball knocking all the parties every-which-way. Outside Alberta, no one really knows where the safe seats are any more or even who the contenders are. Polls are taken over three days, so even the latest polls are two days old. The seat projections are based on averages with even older polls and provincial estimates, but we don't know how uneven the changes in support is. The NDP could be in the lead already, or fallen back.
Voting you conscience is the only strategy left. For once, this election comes down to a choice.
