Glass quarter empty or three quarters full?

Some may say the FCP is still 24 candidates short of running full slate. Yet, comparing to the previous elections - it's more than ever before. And it's much bigger share of the province as well - about 80%, compared to 50% or so in 1990-2003. While the mainstream media still tries not to notice the Family Coalition Party, Wikipedia gave the FCP a column of its own on the 2007 election page.

The Final FCP Tally: Candidates in 83 of the 107 electoral districts That's more than all other small party candidates and the independents put together.

Those who claim that voting FCP means just throwing your vote away, are lying to themselves and, unfortunately, to others. The only vote that is "wasted" is a vote cast for a party that doesn't truly represent one's views.

Family Coalition Party is the only political party in Ontario that supports family values and the right to life for the unborn. Family Coalition Party is the biggest Fiscal Conservative party because the Red Tory PCs can now barely pass as centrists. In 1990 several candidates received over 10% of the popular vote (the best was 13%). With the centrist and left-of-centre vote split four ways (between the PC, Liberal, NDP and Green Party), FCP candidates may only need twice as much to get elected. If Ontario pro-family voters vote their conscience - they will have MPPs representing them in the next Ontario Parliament.

How much would you like to bet that the Family Coalition party will elect ONE candidate?

The FCP may not elect anybody---this time!---but if they can beat the Greens in a few ridings at least (and that does seem likely) then the MSM will be forced to sit up and take notice. It takes awhile to build a party, and the FCP is doing well.
