    No offense, but that’s because you live in a bubble. The majority of Canadians generally land on the neoliberal part of the political compass right now. That’s not to say they can’t be convinced to vote differently, but there’s a reason why the red team and the blue team have been dominant for such a long time.

    FWIW, I live in a bubble too. Lots of the people I interact with are orange liberals or red NDPers. However I would say even more are people who fundamentally agree with the NDP more than any other party, but have been brainwashed into thinking the Liberals represent their views better than any other party.

      novel idea: do not allow to list party affiliations, only election platform. Those would be some very interesting results

      Totally aware and I think you’re right.
