Party Politics versus The Guy

December 13th, 2007 | by MadHacktress |

I enjoyed the poll from yesterday. I was surprised that nearly 60% of the people who took the poll said that they would vote for Stephan Dion as leader today if they had a chance. I had expected this number to be much lower, closer to 50/50.

So, since I got such a kick out of seeing what other people thought about Stephan Dion’s performance as leader (or appropriateness as leader, or however people interpreted the question), I have another informal poll. Since we live in Canada - most of us - where Party Politics is King I have the following question to ask: do you vote along party lines versus voting for your member based on his or her own qualifications/opinions/etc.

I am referring specifically to your member of federal parliament.

Would you vote for your member if they crossed the floor?

  • Maybe, it would depend on the reason. (79%, 23 Votes)
  • Absolutely NOT! (21%, 6 Votes)
  • Yes, of course. (0%, 0 Votes)
  • Only as an independant (0%, 0 Votes)
  • I don't vote (0%, 0 Votes)

Total Voters: 29
