Oct. 15 Poll for Cowichan—Malahat—Langford: vote NDP

Strategic voting in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford

Another new riding in BC is Cowichan—Malahat—Langford, which includes parts of the old ridings of Nanaimo—Cowichan and Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, both of which elected NDP MPs in the last election.

 If the votes of the last election were cast in the current boundaries, the result would have been very close: Con 43%, NDP 43.5%, Lib 6%, Green 7%.

Recent polls confirm that it is close. An Insight West poll released Oct. 7 places support as: Con 21%, NDP 26%, Lib 10%, Green 14%, with 26% undecided.

Vote splitting is a danger here.  To avoid a Conservative victory, strategic voters should support the NDP.

Update.  Votetogether.ca has now endorsed the NDP for strategic voters in Cowichan—Malahat—Langford.
