Fleetwood--Port Kells
Only 55.6 percent voter turnout in this riding in 2008.
Riding Projections
CandidatesConservative incumbent Nina Grewal won by only 828 votes in 2006, but widened that margin in 2008. Both Liberals and NDP have strong constituencies, making for a classic case where vote-splitting elects a Conservative. It has been challenging to make a recommendation regardimg which party/candidate has the best chance to topple the Conservative front-runner. While it will be challenging, a convergence of progressive voters could do it, and take away a seat from Harper's quest for a majority. Based on today's polling, reflecting the NDP surge, we recommend voting for NDP Nao Fernando.
