NDP are far from perfect. It's pretty arrogant of you to call the nation stupid because Canadians preferred Conservatives over the NDP. I guess the Conservative Party must be the most idiotic group of people in the country because they don't think like Sarah.
I certainly did not pay attention to the attack ads and I voted for the party I believed in the most. Oh well, 4 more years.
Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I heard on CTV News, Layton gained much ground (especially in Quebec, where a significant portion of their seats originate) because of the lack of attack ads from the NDP and Layton's optimism and plans for the public. Despite this, more Canadians than ever decided that the Conservatives would be best suited to run the country.
People are idiots. I've seen so many people at school talking about voting conservative solely based on what they've heard about Ignatieff and taxes in the commercials.
You may know better, and no offense but everything you've said regarding politics emphasizes your selfish perspective which is the key to conservatism, but most other people vote based on what the see and hear, not even based on what the believe. And most people are too apathetic to do any research and actually find out who represents what they truly want.
