Teenagers seem more conservative than expected

Prime Minister Stephen Harper remains a winner with Canada’s high school students.

In a mock election, half-a-million young Canadians voted in a Conservative minority government with the official opposition going to the New Democratic Party.

Across the nation, 512,175 ballots from 3,416 high schools in 299 electoral districts were cast.

This is the third time Canada’s students have voted for Harper.

And, this is the fourth federal election put on by the national, non-profit group Student Vote, said communications director Katie Reidel. She was a high school student during the first student election in 2003.

“There is a belief students are much more left than their adult counterparts but that doesn’t appear to be true,” she said from Toronto. “The students, surprisingly, tend to predict the actual outcome.”
