Now this platform announcement from the Greens looks interesting, even given that I'm not a party member:

It's that whole strategic voting problem again. Remember the Ontario Election, Everyone was so scared that the Torys would win that they almost wiped out the provincial NDP (Admittedly Horvath didn't help much) and that crook Wynne got a majority.

Personally, I think it's important that whatever party gets in, its a minority government.

I agree. If I weren't in a riding with a strong NDP incumbent, I'd seriously consider going Green. But as it is, in supporting the NDP, I'm not holding my nose in an anybody-but-Harper gesture, but voting for a party that I think is principled (and holding the right principles!) on many of the most important issues of the day.
