James Harris<p>With the election results in Alberta we have to again have a serious chat about the illusion of choice on the left. The NDP, Liberals and Green Parties at the provincial and federal level genuinely need to talk about why a majority of left leaning voters keep getting defeated in elections by a smaller, consolidated Conservative voting block. Everywhere in this country there are more left leaning votes than right, but the left can’t get over themselves. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ABElxn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ABElxn</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanPoli</span></a></p>
