The plummeting poll numbers for Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberals might not seem as dire if Canada had adopted a new voting system.

They care about getting elected.

Psst. When you're done "both sides" -ing the issue, I bet you can find one of the two that is better than the other and cares more about Canadian happiness.

Vote for them. Then it's a win for them (election)and a win for us (least-worse party in power). If everyone did that, there'd be no blue left.

You see how your both-sides assertion isn't even relevant?

I do that. I do vote NDP. Every election except 2015, when I voted Liberal on the electoral-reform promise. Shame on me.

What I won't say that I'm happy doing it, and it doesn't mean I don't get to criticize the NDP for putting party ahead of the electorate. I said it about Layton teaming up with Harper, I said it about Mulcair getting flanked by Trudeau, and I'll say it about Singh's unwillingness to really step up and own the socialist label.

It's not "both sides'ing" when you wish your team did better.

My riding would still be very, very blue.

At this point the main difference between Liberals and NDP is style, as far as I'm concerned. I'd vote for either, or the Greens if that ever came up.
