“It would be better, in my mind, for May to try to find a riding where the New Democrats are hopeless, but they get a chunk of support, and then she can try and take over the Liberal party’s vote.”

May should have have stayed in London North Centre. She did pretty good in the by election a couple of years ago and could have built on that. By jumping around the country she's essentially starting over every time.
ReplyDeleteI always figured she might have a good shot out in Guelph. Last time out the Green pulled about 25%. You figure a Party Leader would significantly improve that.
ReplyDeleteApparently the choice was based on polling, so there must have been something in it to recommend the BC riding.
