Myself, I've drifted to the left over my adult lifetime. I've always been socially liberal, but fiscally moreso over the years.

My views on the issues are best represented by the NDP, but in each election I vote strategically. For example, in my riding, federally the NDP doesn't have a chance, so I vote Liberal. Never helps, we've been Reform/Conservative for the last 15 years.
