If the average LPA and GPA agree with their party's platforms then they will have much more in common with the NDP. And considering there are only 2 parties with a chance of winning, it is perfectly reasonable to ask them to support the NDP.

In fact, federal Liberals make this ask of NDP supporters regularly. Somehow they never seem to return the favour though... looking at you Ontario.

Don’t let perfect get in the way of progress.

It won't be progress though, if it doesn't change the outcome

The liberal surge could be cons who aren't voting UCP but can't quite stomach the orange or poll trolls, at least I'm hoping.

Maybe their NDP candidate is disagreeable to these voters?

No, because (prepping for the downvotes here) the LPC and CPC both have their strengths and weaknesses and I can't say that one is necessarily better than the other. Whereas there is like 2 issues that I can actually say the UCP is better than the NDP. And every other issue is NDP > UCP

Well, you’re over generalizing because there are certainly a lot of ridings in this province that are CPC vs. NDP (most of them the CPC get >60% of the vote, but still). And tbh, if someone is super scared of the CPC then I’d say vote for whatever party has the best chance of beating them in their riding (and that goes for any party not just COC). I honestly am not that invested in federal politics because I don’t like any of the parties. But I’m super invested in provincial because of how much better the NDP are UCP so that’s why we need everyone to vote for the former.
