 Traditionally, elections in Nova Scotia are happy events. It is our chance to annoy our neighbours, friends, and family by voting for the person whom they like the least. If your parents, for example, would rather swallow a hedgehog fried in cod-liver oil than vote for the Liberals, then you naturally mark your ‘X’ next to the candidate wearing red. Or, if you prefer, you can irritate your neighbour with the hundred gnomes in her front yard, by voting for the Gnome Separation Party, if one happens to be on the ballot.
This is all good fun, until you realize that the whole thing also works in reverse. Thus, elections are also the time when every idiot you have ever encountered gets to decide your fate for the next five years. If that prospect annoys you, maybe it is time to vote strategically. |
