Tories take lead only 50 seats into Ontario!
Remember that results from Quebec to Alberta are all coming in at onceYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Yeah, but they were putting up numbers from Ontario very early.
Alberta reporting and the Tories are over 80 and close to combined Lib-NDP.(\__/)

As an outsider, it's interesting to see what looks like a huge disparity between % votes and # elected. Using the Star's online live election results tracker, it looks to me like the conservatives win a much greater % of votes than of seats - they won 35% of Novia Scotia to the Liberals' 38, yet they won 3 seats to the Liberals' 6. Nearly every province is similar - the liberals win a much larger share of the seats than they earn via percentage.
I presume this is the incumbent effect ... makes you wonder what the parliament will be like in a decade or so, if the voting percentages stay in a similar proportion...<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

Yep, 7 mins past the close of BC polls, none of which have been reported yet. This was always a great source of bitterness to me as a British Columbian - the election was always decided before our votes were counted.Originally posted by Richelieu

Well, it was a brief survey of the atlantic provinces. I was only looking at 'called' elections, thus mostly the east.

How will BQ align typically, since they look to have a decent shot at being the deciding vote?<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

No. That's not only the situation with the Liberals. You see the same trend in Conservative bastions like Alberta. In any FPTP system the legislative margin of victory tends to be much larger than the electoral margin.As an outsider, it's interesting to see what looks like a huge disparity between % votes and # elected.

Apparantly Martin's seat is threatened. His BQ opponent is barely ahead."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "
