snowywolfowl | We have an election coming so can I vote "None of the above"?

I'm going to have to read up on the party platforms, not to determine who will be the best for Canada, but rather to determine who will do the least amount of damage. Here's my first glance takeaways of the parties:

Bloc Quebecois - Electorally important but not running in my riding, for obvious reasons. They're a Quebec only party.

New Democratic Party - It's pretty scary when Jack Layton comes across as the most Prime Ministerial leader. Don't get me wrong, I like what he says but how do we pay for it?

Liberals - My mother completely distrusts Michael Ignatieff on the grounds that he seems to just have come back to pad his career by being PM. That's a pretty explosive thing to say about someone who wants to be PM but I don't really have a rebuttal to that. Honestly if they had Bob Rae as leader I'd be more comfortable voting for them. At least then I'd know who I'm voting for.

Conservatives - Uh, no thanks. Stephen Harper has been the leader of a minority government, which means you actively seek bi-partisan support for your agenda in order to get it passed. Given his track record on this, his decision making in the past (Canadians would be dying in Iraq if he had been PM then), and the whole Contempt of Parliament finding I really just don't feel comfortable handing him the car keys.

Well there you have it. My big basic concerns with everyone. So LJ Hive Mob, who would you vote for? Seriously, non-Canadians (and Americans in general) this is your chance to get back at one foreigner who's never been shy about stating his preferences in other countries elections. ;-p
