Yeah, I'm with you on the above. The conservatives that wrecked this province and the conservatives currently seeking federal power are of a piece -- and an exceptionally unsavoury piece, at that. Also not terribly keen on the possibility of a conservative/BQ coalition (paradoxical, that).
I have hopes that the NDP in its current incarnation would have a better grasp of governance than its predecessors. And I believe they're less corrupt than any other party out there, anyway, which does count for something.
I could be wrong, but I haven't seen any evidence that taxes for folks in our income bracket (that is to say, working class) would increase under an NDP government. Frankly, I've seen far more of that sort of thing from the provincial conservative/liberal governments than is reasonable, to say nothing of the feds. The NDP, after all, generally holds to the line that taxes are for the rich and for corporations (usually, these are the folks who get big tax breaks from the liberals and conservatives), and that's fine by me. :)
