Maybe it's just all of the US politics I've been exposed to lately, but I'd much rather see the NDP lose votes to stratigic voting than see the Conservatives have power.
At last weekend's Pride march someone tried to get me to sign a petition to put Nader on the ballot in Washington state. Luckily, the guy behind me told her everything I was about to say about why no one in their right mind wants Nader running (except, of course, the Republicans) so I could just decline with an "I'm not a US citizen". (Granted, stratigic voting has much more effect with the whole US you-vote-for-a-guy-not-a-party system.)
