Canadian Federal Elections, eh

Interesting. Distraction for drivers or freedom of speech violation? Be careful! Naughty word that generally means coitus. http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/albe...ens-charter-defence-vgtrn?utm_source=vicefbca

For those who can translate, an average of all the polls that came out this week and a second average ajusted for the Tories getting more votes during the election than in polls. http://www.lactualite.com/actualite...Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook

Seems like minority territory. Either NDP or Conservative. Buuuuuut, the election is still far away. Lots can change.

Ah, ! It looks like 1993 again.

Looks like a majority Liberal government again. Cool. If the 90's come back to Canada, that's a bloody good thing.

I'm glad the tories were removed from power, but I would have prefered a minority government and a NDP one. Four years of uncheck Trudeau reign doesn't sound too great.

Wow, the Bloq got creamed this time around. Yikes.

Apart from the scandals in the Quebec arm of the party, last time around, the Liberals did pretty well. They were actually more fiscally conservative than have been the Conservative government that we just voted out. My preference is also for minority governments, as a check on the government in power, but we needed to oust the Conservatives at any rate.

That's a good thing

You're late one election. The BQ had a worse election in 2011. They doubled their seats since last time.

BQs share of the popular vote when down though.

 

[Kramodlog]

That is true. They got 10 seats and a bit more votes than the Green Party who only got one seat. The current electoral system isn't representative. You just need 40% of the vote to form a majority government.

I like the German system where you vote for a local representative and then vote for a party list.
