I'm Canadian and I favor the NDP, but this year I actually wanted to vote Liberal*. Why? Well, yes, in part because Harper had to go and the Liberals came through the campaigning period a lot stronger than the NDP did. But that wasn't the main reason. The main reason I wanted to vote Liberal this time around is because, as a leader, Trudeau was the only candidate who I could see maybe "shaking up" Canadian politics a little - doing things slightly differently, bringing an ever so slightly new approach to the table. And I don't mean setting different political goals than Harper, because that's pretty much a given. I mean it seems possible that he may have a slightly different attitude/approach to politics itself. And on the mere possibility that may be the case, I wanted to see what the results of that different approach would be, if he was given the chance to put it to work in our country.

Yes, I prefer the NDP's platform over the Liberal's. But my preference is not that pronounced. Presuming both parties were really going to do everything they say their going to do, then yes, I would certainly prefer the NDP to be in charge. But politics is such a messy, muddled, grinding machine that when all is said and done, we're left with three tattered, smudged out approximations of the platforms - two over to the left, and one over to the right. Those tattered, smudged out approximations are the real promises which I base my convictions (or lack of convictions) on.

In that context, I think the possibility of taking a slightly new and different approach to doing politics is more valuable than whatever the ground down, smudged and tattered difference between the Liberal and NDP platforms would amount to when all is said and done.

*It's worth noting I voted NDP anyway, because the NDP were a sure thing in my riding.
