Strategic Voting

I'm curious about how people here feel about that.

While I am a big supporter of The NDP I do, in my current riding, vote for The Liberal Party because I know that where I live the Liberals are the ONLY party that have a snowballs chance in hell of beating the pure evil Conservative Party.

If I was still living in Toronto or Vancouver, I would be voting NDP - because the NDP has a chance there. But since moving to Sarnia, I feel like my vote is almost wasted by voting with my heart - so I use it to cockblock the Conservatives.

Do you think I am a dishonest voter, or a smart voter? And why?
