To basically highlight the shortcomings of the First-Past-the-Post voting system, people go nuts with strategic voting:

Amp Your Vote | Project Democracy / Projet Démocratie

The very fact that that site exists tells us our democracy is broken... But never mind, I'm all for preventing a Harper majority so if you're in a swing riding I full support attempting to block the Cons.

obvious irony: site that claims to want to end harper's 'contempt for democracy' (wat?) aims to use rather undemocratic measures i.e. not voting for the party you actually want in power, rather just voting 'against harper' as an ends to do so

I actually have less problem with this than I do vote-swapping, though.
