Anything But Conservative

The following are my researched recommendations for who is best poised to defeat the Conservatives in the upcoming election in fifteen BC ridings where the Conservatives could be defeated by strategic voting. The charts show the results from the 2006 election. The 'A + B' parties' votes (Anything + But) are combined and compared to Conservative votes to demonstrate how Canadians are being governed by a party that the majority of us didn't vote for!

Note: if you don't know the name of your electoral district (aka riding), then follow this link to the Elections Canada website: http://www.elections.ca/home.asp
