The area she runs in is slightly left-wing or at least votes that way. The rest of the city is not. Or at least never votes further left than liberal. Weir is the only NDP in the NB legislature. She will be the only one for a long time unless big changes happen or don't happen.
She gets voted in because of her individuality and personality. Not the party she represents. She could start the NB Independance Party and she would still get elected.
The statd I quoted earlier are from the suburbs of Saint John. Saint John is much more left-wing than the suburbs.

I thought Socialism was towards the left, so wouldnt that make your graphic backwards?

As you probably know, history buff in the narrowest terms, leftist ideologies are centered around large government involvement, while rights favour a free, and open economy. With a small government overseeing enforcement of laws, national defense and little else. So the graph is correct.
The Socialism ideology is on the left of the political spectrum, and, the Fanatical Conservatives of Ralph Klein are the exact opposites of Socialism (they are the Alberta-PC government to those who don't know who they are). Placing them comfortably on the right, the national party of the alliance being the most right of all major political parties in canada, provincial and National.
Pellaken: I dont mean to split hairs, but being from Alberta I can say that Ralph Klein is not more liberal then the CA, if anything, he fits nicely in the middle or to the right of the middle of where the Alliance sits.

on the grap the NDP, socalist, is left.
and ralf klien is more right wing the alberta conservatives. but the party needs to moderate itself. otherwise, they would have become the Canadian Allinace party of Alberta by now.
note-look at the BARS not the NAMES. note how alberta conservatives are in alliance lands.

You can pick a bit, but it looks fine to me, and fairly accurate. All I want to see added is:
1. Mike Harris conservatives
2. Pellaken

Wow. Do your NDP friends know this? See, as someone who is more or less in what I think is in the same boat as the one you're describing, the trouble is that the NDP doesn't beleive you can really be socially "progressive" unless you are economically so as well.
