It's sickening how many seats the Bloc gets with so few votes
So far CBC is reporting:
edit:
Cons - 134
Lib - 73
Bloc - 48
NDP - 31
Green - 0
Elected and Likely. So far it's looking like another Harper minority.Last edited by Victor Galis; October 14, 2008, 22:29."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Also looks like Justin Trudeau got elected in a landslide.
edit: Apparently those were just the first few hundred votes. Now he's only up by 10% or so

The Liberals are on pace to kick the NDP out of my riding.

What's the majority threshold again?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

154 is half. I assume you need 50% + 1 to actually get stuff done?"The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Latest:
Cons 143
Lib 79
Bloc 47
NDP 32
Independent 3
So conservatives are 12 short of majority, but there's only 13 seats left. (Mind you some could shift as not all above races are decided.)"The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Do you understand how just few of the votes have been counted?
Not that I think it'll change massively, but you sound pretty confident about the results so far...which is a mistake."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Yes, but I'm making the assumption that there's no bias in the error (i.e. some ridings will change hands, but the overall counts won't change much.)Originally posted by Asher

If you want to be more accurate:
Cons 112 + 33 = 145
Lib 58 + 19 = 77
Bloc 40 + 9 = 49
NDP 22 + 12 = 34
Ind 1 + 1 = 2
The first column is those the CBC is reporting as elected, the second column is those where they're leading.
Keep in mind that vote counting probably started over 3 hours ago in the east, just that results weren't reported."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

"elected" doesn't mean elected though, it really just means "leading" and some numbnuts at CBC thinks they can't possibly lose..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Judging by the counts in my riding, they've counted about 10%..."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

For fortunes to shift in a riding that has been counting for hours, you'd have to have polls that are completely out of left or right field.
You can generally and accurately predict a seat on as little as 20% of the vote counted. The number becomes large enough to be 'statistically accurate.'(\__/)
