Nunavut now at 65/66 polls reporting with the NDP candidate leading the Liberal candidate by 54 votes.

Fucking dippers.

 

[Aberdeen]

Several coming in now, majority looking increasingly unlikely

171 + Elizabeth May

Sucks to be a voter in Kitchener Centre. 65% vote Green/Lib/NDP and you end up with this as your MP.

a riding on Vancouver Island went that way too unfortunately. perhaps more than one.

Which is why I've said that the Libs should be propping up the PPC in key ridings to split the con vote.

This shit happened in too many ridings.

Time to fire FPTP out of a cannon.

And now, for the other side of the story, we take you to Alberta.

That looks like it to me? The close Vancouver seat left probably doesn't have enough votes in the outstanding poll for the Libs to pull it out. And I guess they've got Terra Nova with a 46 vote lead and one poll left that they need to hold.

So 168 or 169.

Because it got no love $$

It doesn't need to actually win any seats, just win enough votes to fuck over the Cons, the way the NDP, Bloc, and Green votes always fuck over the Liberals.

Propping up a PPC normalizes their hate, their language, their way of life. Find the NDP equivalent of the right, then prop the hell out of them.

 

[thehabhater]

National Post has it at 169

 

[Preston]

Some of the better modellers warned before the election that 168-169 is entirely possible and not necessarily a failure or a huge polling error if that's where the libs land. There was always a path to this result, even if it was less likely than a majority. Pretty cool that this is where we land in the end.

So as expected, definitely better than it looked last night but a touch short of where we all would have preferred. Pretty happy.

You are not propping it up, you are helping to split the vote of people who wouldn’t vote for you anyway

You are. You give them money, they buy ads, their message is heard by the people who normally would not have.

I understand the desire to split the votes but not at the expense of an ad from a hateful candidate running during prime time.

You are not going to lose a single Liberal vote, but you are going to convince an idiot to set fire to their vote.
