Provincial legislature makeup:

1989 - 30 Liberals, 2 Conservatives
1993 - 31 Liberals, 1 Conservative
1996 - 18 Liberals, 8 Conservatives, 1 NDP
2000 - 26 Conservatives, 1 Conservative
2003 - 23 Conservatives, 4 Liberals
2007 - 23 Liberals, 4 Conservatives

These are the most fluid electoral results I've ever seen. They basically went from having the equivalent of the Massachusetts legislature to Idaho and back again.

Assume the second bold is 26 Conservatives, 1 Liberal.

It's pretty strange... I was just taking a look at the federal results over time... prior to 2008, they hadn't elected a Tory since 1984. So from 1988 to 2008, it was a clean sweep at every election to the Grits, but in 1979 it was a clean sweep for the Tories. In the space of nine years from 1979 to 1988, it went from straight Tory to straight Grit, and stayed with the Liberals for the next 20 years.
