I thought I'd start a thread for people to predict who they think will win their local riding.
This thread is not intended to be a place to try convincing others to your viewpoint as far as supporting any party but to see who you actually think will win your riding. Looking for your reasons including the riding's history, local and current issues. Also include a wildcard who you think may have a good showing along again with reasons.
Riding - Huron Bruce
Current representitive - PC's
Prediction - PC's
Reason - Largely a rural farming riding with older than average age which tend to support the PC's.
Wildcard - NDP
Reason - Riding has a history of flipping. Local issues include healthcare & the Bruce Nuclear sight plan for storage of nuclear waste. The NDP are generally seen as a better choice for healthcare & the only party which has stated as against the plan of storing nuclear waste in our riding.
Also locally Doug Ford is not trusted and has failed to provide a costed platform. Liberal votes here are more likely to flip to the NDP than the PC's.
Brampton ...lots of immigrants currently LieBeral and will probably stay LieBeral afterall the LieBerals gave these immigrants the Key to our country!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Riding: Haldimand
Prediction: PC
Reason: Windmills, 900 acre solar farm, shutting down of Nanticoke generating station, and the solar panels going up on that property
Given the signs, probably Liebral.
Why I wouldn't vote for them.

Obviously someone had to ignore the intention of this thread "This thread is not intended to be a place to try convincing others to your viewpoint as far as supporting any party" but just project how you you feel your local riding will vote.
But mosquito it doesn't surprize me it was you.
IF I had wanted to make it a post to convince someone I would have posted links to the Summary of the Liberal screw ups, to the links about the NDP candidates that were posting Hitler quotes, the $150/ton carbon tax etc.... but it sounds like a good idea. I will work on it.Quote:

Just can't admit you have an agenda for all your political posts can you mosquito.
Most people I've talked to in our riding are flipping a coin. There doesn't seem to be the big party affiliations that used to be. Liberal candidate is an incumbent. The general consensus is that no one has heard from him since the last election except for the yearly newsletter,so,they won't vote for him this time. Federally,this Erin O'Toole country,but,provincially,all bets are off.
mosquito your 2 edit times (not before following comments)are noted in this thread.
Won't change your intent.
We will go PC again here. Mulroney is our candidate but we have been blue for years.
Wellington Halton Hills: Currently PC and will stay that way.
Our area will go Blue again, no real concern there, Eastern Ontario, rural.
What I have noticed over the last number of elections is that as a rule you have everything north of Barrie that goes NDP, everything south of there goes PC, except the area around TO and 1 or 2 wards in Ottawa, they tend to go Liberal.
The rules all get tossed out though when we have a situation like this one, where the incumbent is so hated by the majority. There will be cases where people are throwing votes at "the other guys" which will, I am sure, cause some upsets with the NDP taking seats that were Liberal and or PC strongholds.
I do not believe the green party will get any seats but anything is possible.
I hope that we actually have a decent representation for this election, if people are pissed off with all the parties then say so with a vote of non-confidence but staying at home and not voting does not help the situation at all.
Niagara west.
will be PC again, has been forever, and likely will continue to be...
Nickel belt will go NDP again. It always does because its a blue collar area and the ndp have always been able to fool these workers into believing that they're the only party who can represent them.
