This thinking is flawed if applied in general without any consideration of the dynamics in a particular riding. I don’t know how many people think and vote this way without checking their riding’s numbers. Perhaps many. In my riding it was the right move, as the NDP candidate got under 5%. Given how three seats were won by less than 40 votes, I think there’s some validity in informed strategic vote. But voting for OLP instead of ONDP “strategically” without checking riding numbers is very much flawed and I hope these people, along with traditional OLP voters would do something else the next time around.
