The PM, really. I think most people do vote based on the PM rather than the local MP. That's probably wrong to do, but there you have it. It's hard to separate the person running for PM from the person who is in your local riding - and so it should be. It's the seats from all those little ridings that declares the PM.
I guess I'm not as concerned about local politics as I should be. And I guess I pretty clearly vote along party lines - as I'm sure most people do.
