Anti-Harper Votes: Liberals and Voter Behaviour

anti-harper votes: At first, they appeared to be leaning toward the NDP, but when the Liberals showed positive momentum, voters flocked to them, according to The Chronicle Herald. They were collectively determined to avoid an even split of anti-Harper votes and gave the Liberals a strong majority. Thus, in 2015, Canadians decided they'd had enough of Stephen Harper. Likewise, in 2013, Nova Scotians had become thoroughly disenchanted with the NDP and focused on the question of whether Jamie Baillie or Stephen McNeil was the least like Darrell Dexter. The most recent and arguably the most compelling instance of this voter behaviour is the June 7 Ontario election. They settled on McNeil's Liberals, now into their second term.
