Also, I think that your description of strategic voting needs some clarification. The way you have put it here (i.e., voting for “whom has more chances of winning”) makes it sounds like you are just trying to vote for the winner, which is not exactly correct. For example, if you are in Stephen Harper’s riding, he has the best chance of winning so by your explanation, you’d vote for him. Obviously, this is not strategic voting. The idea behind strategic voting is to get rid of vote splitting which allows a candidate to win even though they don’t have the support of most of the people in a riding – for example, let’s say you prefer an NDP candidate but you know that in your riding the NDP candidate will have little chance of winning, so instead you vote for the Liberal candidate, who is your second choice – you vote for them because their views are similar to yours and you really don’t want the Conservative candidate to win; thus, you are voting to ensure that the Conservative candidate in your riding does not win as a result of the left’s vote being split between NDP, Green and Liberal.
