The Green Party candidate in Kootenay Columbia says the national polling which suggests the decline in support for the NDP is having a positive local impact for him.
Bill Green says as the whole strategic voting movement fades people are becoming more comfortable with the notion of voting for who they really want.
He says Green voters are also now seeing that a Liberal minority government with support from the NDP is now a real possibility.
Green says that means Green voters need not fear voting with their conscience instead of choosing NDP in order to try to keep the Conservatives out.
