Bouquets of Gray: Strategic voting in Peterborough—Kawartha: vote Liberal
Peterborough—Kawartha is a new riding made up mostly from the old riding of Peterborough. It includes (obviously) Peterborough and its environs.
Dean Del Mastro convicted |
Strategic voters in Peterborough—Kawartha have good reason to want to avoid vote splitting and change parties in this election. Its Conservative MP for the last decade has been the odious Dean Del who was found guilty last year of electoral corruption and tampering wiht documents and sent to prison.
In the last election, Delmastro was elected quite easily with 47% of the vote, followed by the Liberal with 32% and the NDP with 14%.
Two polls have been conducted in the riding since the writ was dropped:
- Forum Research (September 24): Con (34%), NDP (24%), Lib (37%) and Green (4%)
- Nanos Research (August 26, 2015): Con (29%), NDP (27%), Lib (41%), Green (4%)
Update. More polls confirm the call. From wikipedia summary of local election polls:
