It really doesn't tell you how they arbitrarily decided 25% of NDP supporters would jump ship for May (who is fiscally conservative), or why the Liberal vote was divided the way it was. I still don't see anything happening but a split between NDP and Greens.

I don't think Democratic Space is a vote for Liberal site, do you? That just seems to be what the strategic sites are recommending, based on latest polling data.

Are these local or taken from national estimates. I don't think they've ever updated their picks either even though the polls have been all over the place. At least not the ones I've been looking at. Elizabeth May should probably be throwing her support behind the NDP if you take some of her comments on strategic voting literally and also her comments that Jack Layton only cares about politics and not the good of mankind, etc. She can't really justify the gamble she's taking in this riding. She's the only person who has the ultimate power to guarantee this riding doesn't go to MacKay. What an ugly choice for any politician and few, if any with even a slim chance to win will make that kind of sacrifice, nor should they. Yeah, we need electoral reform badly.
