      A B F. . . . to the point of switching party allegiance to ensure he doesn't       get in.       That's serious stuff. So is talk of a coalition between the Liberals and NDP       to keep him from doing Ontario harm.       _______________________________              Anybody-but-Ford movement is percolating as June 7 election nears: poll              Swaths of Liberal and NDP voters most firmly opposed to Doug Ford are       preparing to switch allegiance if the other party appears to have a better       chance of stopping his Progressive Conservatives, the survey finds.                     An anybody-but-Ford movement is percolating as the June 7 election draws       closer, with Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals at the biggest risk of being left       behind, suggests a poll provided to the Star.              Swaths of Liberal and NDP voters most firmly opposed to Doug Ford are       preparing to switch allegiance if the other party appears to have a better       chance of stopping his Progressive Conservatives, said Craig Worden, president       of Pollara Strategic Insights.              The likelihood is stronger in Toronto than in the rest of the province and is       a red flag to the Liberals because they have a higher percentage of voters       motivated mainly by anti-Ford sentiments than Andrea Horwath’s New       Democrats, Worden added.              A further breakdown of the results shows that province-wide, 60 per cent of       NDP voters motivated to back Horwath by their opposition to Ford said they are       likely to switch to the Liberals if necessary, while 78 per cent of Liberal       voters were ready to        back New Democrat candidates.              The percentages are higher in the province’s largest city.              “It really stood out that, in Toronto, (of) the anti-Ford voters who are       Liberals, 84 per cent said they’re likely to switch to the NDP if it means       they look like they’re going to be the most likely to stop Doug Ford,”       Worden said.              “And 92 per cent of the NDP feel the same. But the thing is, the Liberals       have a bigger chunk of voters who are anti-Ford than the NDP.”              More:       https://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2018/05/10/anybody-but-f       rd-movement-is-percolating-as-june-7-election-nears-poll.html              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
