Canada Votes on Terb
- Thread starter Shades
- Start date
lolOK...it's about 12:40 in the AM now, and I feel a rant going coming on.
First I think the undecided voters (especially in Ontario) went with the devil they knew than Harper. If these voters actually spent time comparing issues from party to party I think you would of seen a different picture.
Second, The Bloc really annoy the shit out of me! Throughout the whole elections they were virtually quiet about separtism and then in his victory seech the Bloc leader starts talking about a major victory towards a free Quebec. Give me a bloody break!
Third, I really am suprised the distance between the liberals and PC. I thought the numbers would of been closer.
And the last thought, I'm actually glad to see the Green Party has gotten their 5% of the national vote so that they will be able to do more in Parliment.

Wow. Didn't see this thread until now. I'm impressed with just how accurate the TERB poll was. :-D
It was soooooooo close. We almost had Liberals + NDP getting the required 155, but no such luck. But it makes for an interesting government.
If there were a private members bill for proportional representation, we don't need the Liberals to support it. If there were a bill passed to protect same sex marriage, we don't need the Conservatives to support it.
Friend of mine from Quebec said that the Bloc should run candidates across the country. He's said he thinks they'd pick up a fair number of seats in Alberta, where they WANT Quebec to go away. :-D
The numbers I saw on proportional representation were:
Liberals 113
Conservatives 91
Bloc 38
NDP 48
Greens 18
That looks better to me.
