Strategic voting in Winnipeg South Centre: vote Liberal

Winnipeg South Centre: vote Liberal

In my last post, I urged strategic voters in Elmwood-Transcona to vote NDP. In the nearby riding of Winnipeg South Centre, strategic voters should vote Liberal.

Strategic voting in Winnipeg South Center

• The Conservative incumbent is Joyce Bateman, who was recently in the news for reading a prepared list of 'Enemies of Israel' at a B'nai Brith sponsored campaign debate
• Bateman captured the seat in 2011 by less than 700 votes. The results were Con 39%, Lib 37%, NDP 18%. 
• a poll conducted by votetogether.ca Sept. 18-21 places the Liberal candidate (Jim Carr) ahead at 38%, with the Conservative at 31%, and the NDP at 23%
• threehundredandeight.com projects the Liberal as having a 63% of winning
• electionprediction.org projects the riding as a Liberal win
• strategic voters would do best to back the Liberal candidate, Jim Carr.

Although the prospects to defeat the Conservatives are good here, tactical voting is still advisable here.  According to a CBC report, the boundaries of the riding have been changed in the Conservatives favour.

In sum, strategic voters would do best to back the Liberal candidate, Jim Carr.

Update.  Votetogether has now endorsed the Liberals for strategic voters in Winnipeg South Centre.
