Your vote can't be split. It is unique and fully complete -- there is NO way to split it in half, quarters, thirds, or whatever

Today my campaign manager, Alan Forseth, had a post that he made on his 'Mostly Politics' Facebook page  I liked what he had to say , and so I would like to share it with you as well. 

 

Here is what he had to say: 

 

I did a poll today and the result was 100% support for Kamloops South Thompson BC Conservative candidate Peter Sharp (Elect Peter Sharp Kamloops-South). 

 

Okay that is a little tongue in cheek, and I was the only person surveyed, however the reality is each one of us does make our own choice when it comes to marking our ballot.

 

Each one of us is a poll of 'one' in the voting booth, and our vote carries as much weight as the next poll of one.

 

Some have said don't vote Green you'll split the NDP vote ... others say don't vote Conservative you'll split the Liberal vote.  Of course we BC Conservatives could also say don't vote Liberal because you'll split the Conservative vote, and likewise for the Green Party vs. the NDP.

 

The reality is, there is no vote split.  

 

Your vote can't be split.

 

It is unique and fully complete -- there is NO way to split it in half, quarters, thirds, or whatever.

 

When you head to the voting station, vote for who YOU want to represent YOU; the person who has best shown they are someone you can relate to, and that holds the same beliefs and ideals you do, or at least ones that are close.

 

You can't go wrong with that. That's how democracy works.

 

Good luck to all candidates -- and thank you for stepping up and letting your name stand to represent the people you hope will become your constituents. 

 

How many time have you heard the vote splitting argument?  This, to me, simply states it the way it really is.  Your votes is yours, and yours alone, and it cannot be split. 

 

On Tuesday -- I encourage YOU vote for the person YOU wish to have represent you.  After all, it's your choice to make.

 

Let's 'stay sharp' Kamloops.

 

I'm Peter Sharp -- I'm a BC Conservative -- and I BELIEVE in BC!
