We all know lots of good reasons to send our present prime minister out to pasture. The question is “How can our votes best be used to do this?”
For too long the right-wing support in this riding has been so strong that many have said the Cons could run a fence post and still win handily.
However, please consider this: in North Okanagan Shuswap, the NDP candidate has been the runner-up in the last three federal elections. In 2011, Nikki Inouye received about two and a half times the Green vote and nearly four times the Liberal vote.
“Yes,” you may say, “But now we have a fresh Liberal leader with a big name and a fine haircut.”
Well, hold your hat. Here’s the shocker. According to 308.com, as of July 9, 2015, the riding project for North Okanagan-Shuswap in this fall’s election is as follows:
NDP 35.8 per cent, Conservative 33 per cent, Liberal 15.8 per cent, Green 13.8 per cent.
Moreover, the NDP have an excellent candidate. Jacqui Gingras is a vibrant, down to earth, very smart lady, well worthy of your support.
Together we can.
