If you didn't vote, you suck! :p

I'm not a Conservative supporter (at least not under Harper), but the good thing to come out of this election is the absolute slaughter of the Bloc.

I hope they are finished on the federal scene for a long time.

I find it extremely annoying when I find out that several people are choosing not to vote yet are quite vocal about the stupidity of the government.


You don't vote, you don't get a say.

No, if I don't vote, that gives me the right to complain, since I had nothing to do with their coming into power.

The people who VOTED, don't get a say, because they're the ones responsible for getting them into government!

:fullofwin:

it actually is the opposite of what you just said... you don't vote you got no right to complain...imagine winning with one vote...just like the canucks...a win is a win...

BQ with a whopping... 6 or 7 ridings so far... wow.

Relax dude, and lighten up.

On a related note, seems like the NDP is doing better than expected!

Early returns are kind of amazing, and kind of scary. Canadian politics looks like it's becoming more polarized.

I am glad that the BQ is sucking ballz though.

Holy crap the NDP is doing well. Do people hate the liberals that much?

^ Too many years in power. I've been impressed by Jack Layton. I think he's good for Canada.

Well I hope they don't do TOO well, or we'll be stuck with another minority, and the Conservatives will be handcuffed all over again.

Dude creeps me out. Looks like a pedo

More than this?

I think for years NDP supporters have been voting for the liberal party to block the Conservatives, the surge brought those voters out of the wood work.

Looks like the left vote has been split a bit.

Duceppe and Ignatieff are losing their ridings lol.

I don't think shooting down that budget went the way the Liberals and BQ had hoped and went way better then the NDP could have ever dreamed.

Wonder if Ignatieff will go back to Harvard

That's the classic problem with Canadian politics. Proportional represntation is the answer to a more accurate distribution of power, but right wing voters benefit from our current system and won't support it.

I heard that if we do end up with another Conservative minority, Layton and NDP can form another coalition with the other parties and have a vote of non-confidence. This time, there won't be a re-election. The governor general would have to choose one of the opposition party to become prime minister. Did anyone hear about this?

The government wasn't defeated on the budget. But that's water under the bridge.

Don't turn this issue quite partisan... a few years ago the right vote was split between the Cons and the Reform party.

Conservatives have won majority government.

Discuss.

Are projected to win a majority. We shall see.

Edit, a little late.

Why do you think the election was triggered? It was because the budget was defeated. Essentially they all slit their own throats except the NDP who obviously gained a lot including the official opposition.
