I think the premise on this thread is flawed because voting intentions are based within a framework of FPTP. Who knows how many Liberal voters would vote Green, or CPC would vote PPC if they believed it makes a difference in the grand scheme of things.
The fact that we get so many votes for ‘fringe’ parties just goes to show how many people are sick of the same two parties holding power.
I also agree with Queefer, who cares if fringe parties have a voice. If that’s what a certain percent of people want so be it. That’s more democratic and what we have now with parties ramming legislation through with 100% power even though they got <40% of votes.
