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

    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.

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

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

    Of course it wouldn't happen.

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

    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.

    Way to throw your votes away.

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

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

    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.
