Martin is getting whacked consistently across the country. However in PEI and Nova Scotia their venom is directed at Harper too. Quebec is hitting the Tories 27%, the Liberals 40%, and the Bloc 20% . Interesting to see that Nfld is whacking Martin 69% of the time and Harper only 21%.<\/p>\n

The quiz was originally inspired by a news report of Mel Lastman jumping up and yelling at David Miller, “You say dumb and stupid things.” WhacktheMayor.ca was our first poll, then WhackthePM.ca in 2004 and now the 2006 sequel! It’s interesting that even though Whack the PM is satirical humour, the results are echoing the official poll results.<\/p>\n
The poll results are based on 4,522 unique visitors, however the quiz has been taken 8,413 times — and shows no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n

\nWhack the PM also offers strategic voting advice on a riding-by-riding basis. It is based on an analysis of voter’s desired outcomes, the predicted 2006 finishing positions in each riding, and the actual 2004 Federal Election results in each riding. This strategic feature has been designed to help voters make the most effective use of their votes, so that the ballots they cast in their individual ridings can ultimately lead to the defeat of a national leader.
