    DEFEATING HARPER: REFLECTIONS ON THE VOTE TOGETHER CAMPAIGN DECEMBER 2015 Thank you to the thousands of Leadnow supporters who contributed their ideas, money, and time to design, fund, and power Vote Together. Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 Introduction 6 The Vote Together Strategy 10 Outcomes 14 Lessons Learned 26 Conclusion and Next Steps 30 Appendices Appendix I: Campaign Overview 32 Appendix II: Riding-by-riding Reports 37 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is intended to provide a summary of the Vote Together campaign, its results, and lessons learned. We want to capture and publish reflections before the end of 2015, while the memories are still fresh and lessons are emerging, as a first step in a deeper process of analysis and reflection. In the 2011 federal election, a majority of people voted for a change in government, but because of vote splitting in our broken first-past-the-post electoral system, the incumbent Conservatives won 100 percent of the power with 39 percent of the vote. In the run up to the 2015 federal election, Leadnow supporters decided to launch the Vote Together campaign because of the unique threat posed by the Harper Conservatives to our democratic institutions. Progress on our community’s priorities - a strong democracy, a fair economy, and a clean environment - was impossible while they held power. On October 19th, 2015, a majority of people voted for change, and Harper was defeated when the Liberals won a majority of seats in parliament, with 39 percent of the popular vote. Despite everything Harper did to outrage Canadians during four years of majority rule, the Conservatives lost just 235,000 votes compared to their 2011 total.
