I think its a good idea

[Chumley]

It will work until someone goes into the site pretending to be willing to vote Lib/Green and then not doing it.

[ridenrain]

Oh yeah. I'm in!

I can see the Conservatives getting rubes to vote NDP and falsely promising to vote against the Tories to the unsuspecting partner.

On a large scale it could really be dangerous.

[Chumley]

Its not like it wouldn't happen if the situation were reversed.

[Terence]

C'mon under what circumstance would a self respecting Lib, Green or NDP supporter EVER VOTE CONSERVATIVE?

Of course it wouldn't happen.

Yeah, ok.

If this isn't illegal, it's unethical, IMO.

[tritium]

This has to be the most fucking absolutely stupid idea in the world.

When you are in that voting booth, your vote is private and should be.

I wonder if this is legal or on the verg of vote rigging.

[Tracker]

Way to throw your votes away.

[ridenrain]

Is it really that much different than a union telling their members how to vote?
It's a stupid plan for stupid people.

[Terence]

I think it is only in violation of law if money or something of value is exchanged

[Chumley]

Votes are valuable.

Under what circumstance would any self-respecting voter agree to place a vote for someone else?

If this isn't illegal, it's unethical, IMO.
