I dunno about you, but I feel that my vote mattered in the election we had last month. I don’t mean that just because I voted Liberal, but because I voted period. I know I have had discussions with some of you about which party you voted for, but we’ve always been able to agree that no matter who you chose, your vote mattered. Considering that the turnout for this election was one of the worst in years, I think everyone’s vote mattered even more this time.
Having said that, take a moment to read Martin’s post on this topic. It seems the local newspaper in Inuvik feels that his Green Party vote was a waste. Maybe the reason voter turnout was so low is that people have forgotten how important democracy is. Anyway, read his letter and let him know what you think!

No I didn’t waste my vote. Go Green!
Those who voted for the Green Party should know that their vote was definitely NOT wasted. A party must receive 4% of the popular vote before they are able to get government funding for the next election. Since the Green Party did receive that 4%, they’ll have some extra money to campaign next time around and hopefully will be able to inform more of the public about their platform issues.
Thats a good point steffi. Check out my thoughts in Martin’s post.
Go Commies!
you’re a waste of skin dickson, that is all
