According to the EKOS poll of second choices polled April 28 – 30, 2011, the 1,516 Green voters would have given their second choice as 33% NDP (500), and 17% Liberal (258). The 2,278 Bloc voters would have had second choices of 49% NDP (1,116), 11% Liberal (251). The 7,218 Conservative voters would have had second choices of 23% NDP (1,660), 18% Liberal (1,299). You may have been expecting them to prefer the Liberals, but 47% of them told EKOS they had no second choice, and indeed many voters don’t use their second choice on a preferential ballot (even under STV). Result on the final count: NDP 17,981, Liberal 17,154.Wilf Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546880754492040363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615716556540686703.post-20713397271442755152012-05-22T14:48:43.521-04:002012-05-22T14:48:43.521-04:00i don't understand how you came to the conclus...i don't understand how you came to the conclusion that Garneau would have lost under AV. <br /><br />i'm interested, not trying to be a smart alec. can you lay out any of the math?observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319053138092125761noreply@blogger.com
