It looks like these are good results for the NDP so far.

So the PCs still have a majority ? Good.

LOL, I can't believe I'm actually cheering at a conservative victory. Grin

Let's not get too excited yet, though I'm getting cautiously optimistic.

Massive strategic voting. Will this mean a more left-leaning PC government, or will they move right from the scare?

It would be safe for them to be "more left-leaning" after this, especially with Redford. Doesn't mean they'll do it, but I wouldn't expect a rightward shift.

Sort of out of nowhere. Liberal vote there completely collapsed and NDP % there has ballooned since the last election.


Liberal leader trailing in his riding.

Not unexpected, everyone kept saying they were targeting Lethbridge West. But still, amazing.

So basically 2004 federal election all over again, but the polls didn't catch it?
Logged

+7.35, +3.65

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

Well, no, as Wildrose was polling higher than 34%.

No seats are declared, but it still seems hard to see how on aggregate the WRP win. What's the probability of a PC victory now?

NDP gets the second actual elected seat of the night. Finally glad to see some concrete results.

At this point, I think the PCs will take it.  A bit of a surprise as the attack as being too right wing seems to work in Ontario, but not Alberta.  Witness the 2004 and 2000 federal elections where such tactic worked well in Ontario, but failed miserable in Alberta.  While the networks haven't called it, I cannot see the WRP pulling this off.  At least much like 1993 they gave the PCs a good scare.  The question is will they stay the main opposition or like the Liberals in 1993, will they wither away.

Pretty clear the PCs have a majority.  CBC is always last to call it anyways, but I think it is fair to say the PCs have won it.  Lets just see how the final results pan out.

CBC not wanting to call it. I would be cautious too due to polls.

Imagine how much egg will be on CTV's face if the WRP comes back.

Raj Sherman is now leading in his riding.  Grits now tied with Dippers in seats won/leading.

Any chance the NDP can pick up enough seats from the PC to put the WRP over the top?
