Today's column is far from the first time Bruce Anderson has gone to absurd lengths in trying to limit the choices of Canadian voters by serving up only a Lib/Con false dichotomy, then pretending that results reflecting an artificially-limited set of choices should be taken at face value.
But it's worth noting that Anderson's choice to cut the NDP out of the picture was made in areas where it actually tends to perform particularly well, as past polls on second-choice support and "would consider voting" numbers have tended to place the NDP on an equal footing or better as compared to the Libs. And while we may not be able to confirm that the same applies now due to Harris Decima's selective omission, the only part of Anderson's column that should be seen as boding poorly for the NDP in the slightest is his continued refusal to offer respondents a full range of choices.
