Peter MacKay gets elected if the Liberals vote Green. If the Liberals support the NDP, the NDP wins. Two fo the five provincial ridings are held by NDP and the NDP came second in the other three. People here feel honored to have a big celebrity like May come for a side show but we take our politic more seriously than that. Liberals here will vote NDP to unseat MacKay but also to have a better chance at knocking off the NDP incumbant next time. They know that if they help elect MacKay by voting Green he survives and will be stronger than ever.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16717','voteMayelectMacKay'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16717','voteMayelectMacKay','I live in Central Nova.

The NDP vote looks quite fertile in the SC poll, and the Greens are even softer. The Conservatives are falling, and yet their growth potential is still as low, which is strange because as the party numbers fade, you would expect an inverse uptick in potential growth. Everyway I look at it, the Libs are the only one with real room, and that is a good spot heading into the final days.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('16714','SteveV'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('16714','SteveV','One thing about this poll, and even moreso in the Strategic Counsel battleground poll, the Liberal vote is firm, relative to the NDP and Greens.
