JCI VOTES AGAINST THE GRAIN IN FEDERAL ELECTION

Well, we probably shouldn't be surprised that the Marijuana Party did better than any other obscure federal party in the national student vote; however, its results in the actual election weren't quite as glorious. Comparing the student vote, particularly the JCI vote, with election results, shows some other surprising contrasts: at Jarvis the NDP received 39.4% of the votes — more than any other party, although it came third following the Liberals and the Conservatives in the official election with 17.5% support. Also, the Conservatives came in fourth at Jarvis, beaten even by the Green Party.
