London NDP Candidate Drops Out of the Race to Support the Liberals

Elgin-Middlesex-London NDP candidate Ryan Dolby announced yesterday that he was dropping out of the election race, and encouraged supports to rally to the Liberal cause in order to beat the Tory candidate. While it is sad to see the NDP taking the fall, such a thing would not be necessary if Canada had an electoral system that actually reflected voter interests and political beliefs. London NDPers should have the chance to vote for their candidate. No one should have to vote strategically to avoid getting the government they don't want, instead of voting actively to get the government they do want. Unfortunately, right now, this is the reality of the system. The system needs to change, but won't until those who benefit from it are removed from power. Vote ABC!
