@msj. Why would you never vote NDP?

You know, I found out this election that my husband would never vote NDP and it really irked me.

I may be a hard lefty who has found herself aligned with the NDP both federally and provincially for the last few elections, but I could never rule out a political party all together.

In the past I have voted for different parties on both federal and provincial levels and it all depends on the circumstances.  What party is in power, how long they've been there and what have they been doing.  Who actually has a shot of winning in my riding.  Who has the most tolerable platform. 

Heck, I could even vote CPC if the circumstances were right and I would never say never just because of their past policies or their party colours. 

I asked msj a while ago about his reasons for not voting NDP provincially and I know they're different than my husband's, but as far as my husband goes, I lost a lot of respect this election.  He knew the Liberals needed to go, he knew the Greens didn't stand a chance in our riding, yet he just couldn't vote for the NDP because... the 90's. 

It's so small minded.
