    The predictions show a conservative plurality not a majority… that’s a significant difference because it’s extremely unlikely that the CPC will be able to form government.

          I think it’s a lack of civics education

          People see “punish municipalities for not meeting housing quotas” and think that’s a good idea

          They don’t understand that that means higher property taxes and an indefinite increasing housing minimum means that the municipalities will not keep up. (Among a vast amount of other issues)

        If this is from one of those phone surveys, then the only people answering the phones and actually doing them are boomers. Highly suspect numbers.

        I don’t know anyone that actually answers those surveys, even the people that initially pick up the phone.
