MLW federal election poll

[Moonlight Graham]

Who do you intend to vote for in the 2011 federal election? (or have already voted for if you went to an advanced poll)

And yes i'm aware you vote for MP's, not parties, we all know the deal.

This forum has been notoriously Conservative.

I highly disagree.

This forum has been notoriously Conservative.

Why? Because the Liberals are losing the poll? Looks like the NDP have almost as many votes as the Conservatives. Does that constitute notoriously conservative?

I do think this forum has more people that voice opinions farther on the right of the political spectrum than would be representative of the Canadian population as a whole.

Not anymore. It seems to be bipolar with not much support for Liberals.

I don't mean this poll. That's just my appraisal of the voices in the various discussions on the topics we discuss here. There is a good balance on this forum between people across the entire political spectrum, including some pretty far right voices, libertarians, etc, which are basically non-factors in the Canadian population but are well represented here.

A tend that is echoed in the general public if recent polls are to be believed.

That's because the Liberals are terrible right now. There are still many of us in the middle....the Liberal party simply left us.

I guess the message is: if people want a left wing party they will vote NDP. The Libs hurt themselves by moving to the left.

Why did you put the last item in (I am not a Canadian Citizen)----

Elections Canada sent a bunch of voter cards to Non-Canadians :lol:

Let's look at their record: In the last election they discounted a vote in a known CPC area, this time they allowed an unauthorized advance polling station the never had scrutineers of either party but did have Liberal political items in a known Liberal area---- slanted Leanings in Elections Canada maybe?

Actually, chances are the choice is there because some MLW members aren't Canadian (BC, JBG, BONAM!!!) heh, heh

NO way cyber. This forum is fairly balanced.

[wyly]

on the right in this forum we have two members who support of ethnic cleansing, more than a few xenophobic racists, one openly supports fascism...there is no one on the extreme left that balances the right wing fanaticism found on this forum...

[Hydraboss]

Why are people even eating up bandwidth with this argument? Just answer the damn poll and the answer will "magically" appear.

On the left in this forum we have several are hardcore socialists. A few rabid anti-semites, and a couple of people that are self-avowed communists. Not to mention a half dozen extreme alarmists.

[Hydraboss]

So if everyone just posts up their Political Compass scores on this thread we'll have the truth.

No we really have none of those things on the left although I don't know if on the right there is such an extreme also. The medium leaves itself open for people to move further left or right then they actually are.

There is no answer to this debate without metrics. If you are to the left of me, you're leftist. If you're to the right of me, well, there really aren't any to the right of me.

none to the right of you?... hmmm, my dad used to shoot that type during last great war...

[Hydraboss]

Good for him. Name a real poster on MLW that espouses strict financial controls, doesn't give a shit about "green" motives, and is openly against any immigration that isn't of immediate and provable financial benefit to Canada. I'm not including those posters that show up on here every time the election draws near, never to be heard of again, or the mentally unstable (and we both know a few members like that).

So you think I have a swastika on my forehead? Good for you.

by your own admission..."there really aren't any to the right of me."

Nazis have more in common with socialists than Libertarians.

[Smallc]

Of course, the extreme right isn't only made up of libertarians. Nazis probably have the most in common with right wing fascists.
