[fvc-wat-disc] Even NDP win won't stop Ford

[Sharon Sommerville]

Thank you Eleanor.  The interview is certainly enlightening &
discouraging.  If this election produces a "Wrong winner" government, some
people will begin to understand that the electoral system delivered the
Ford win, not the voters.  Cold comfort but may, in the long run, be
helpful for some to finally recognize that electoral reform as an important
necessity.

Ms. Kelly spoke about the kind of issue that might affect Ford's support in
the last 6 days of the election; could Renate Ford's lawsuit be that issue?
Perhaps in combination with the PC candidate who is being accused of
threatening 19 Tamils in his riding?  Or am I grasping desperately at
straws?

And despite Ms. Kelly's explanation I don't understand how Poli works and
how accurate has Poli's projections proven to be in recent elections?
Traditional polls have proven themselves to be unreliable of late.

Hopefully yours,
Sharon
