Federal Elections 2011: Seat Predictions


Recommended Posts

Here's my current province by province seat predictions. If you try this at home kids, make sure your totals add up to 308. And don't cheat by editing your prediction later in the campaign.

BC - CPC: 27, LPC: 3, NDP: 6

Alta - CPC: 28

Sask - CPC: 13, LPC: 1

Man - CPC: 10, LPC: 1, NDP: 3

Ont - CPC: 58, LPC: 30, NDP: 18

Qc - CPC: 9 (1), LPC: 12, NDP: 1, BQ: 52

NB - CPC: 6, LPC: 3, NDP: 1

NS - CPC: 4, LPC: 5, NDP: 2

PEI - CPC: 2, LPC: 2

Nfld - CPC: 3, LPC: 3, NDP: 1

Terr - CPC: 1, LPC: 1, NDP: 1

Totals - CPC: 162, LPC: 61, NDP: 33, Bloc: 52

That's a (bare) Conservative majority. The wild card is Ontario.

Here's a fun site for discussion of local ridings: http://www.electionprediction.org/2009_fed/index.php

That site is crazy. They're still calling St. Boniface too close to call? They called it TCTC in 2008 too, and Shelly got nearly as many votes as the LPC and NDP candidates combined!

yah they are not great. I like to check out

www.threehundredeight.com

However I take issue with some of the methodology it is fun to look at and has a lot of info.

I agree that the site is crazy. I like it because there is discussion for each riding. True, the discussions are not unlike threads here but if you know the riding/region, you can filter the posts and get a sense of the situation.

The public, as a group, have only voted over 50% for any government about five or six times since Confederation. I think you need to rephrase.

That's a really good point TB particularly in light of all the comments that are being made about the dos and don't of minority governments.

CPC = 121

LIB = 117

Bloc = 47

NDP = 22

IND = 1

And there will be no coalition. Rather, a CPC without Harper (who will resign after again failing to win a majority) in complete tatters. Another election will be held in Spring 2012 that results in a LIB/NDP coalition government.

May as well, they are the same thing. I love it. The vote splitting, just like used to curse the Conservative/Reform supporters. Plus the Green falls in there further splitting it. Great news for us conservatives. (Note the small c.)

Not only is this a fun site but it correctly predicted the outcome in 91% of the ridings on the morning of October 13th, 2008, i.e., one day before the election. Here's the link to the ridings that were correctly predicted:

No way 120 is the Conservative basement right now. Harper would have to kill a baby to fall to 120 seats. I think you are dreaming.

Totals - CPC: 162, LPC: 61, NDP: 33, Bloc: 52

CPC: 136

LPC: 83

NDP: 38

Bloc: 49

Green: 0

Other: 2

Puts coalition out of reach for LPC and NDP. Gives the CPC a minority government again.

Voters completely fed-up with federal politics Tuesday morning.

Steel cage match to decide it all??

Stevie 4 Questions vs The Coopalition Collossus

We should just legislate the change now and have elections on the 1st Friday of every month. Dinner and a movie with the missus, pay the utility bills, vote for the latest government, flip the page on the kitchen calendar. We could be the new Italy.

Close but no cigar perhaps. I don't think it quite that close but this will definitely stampede some Canadians to the oposition parties, which is perhaps the intention of the forecaster. Who knows the games people play.

Harper just shy of projected majority as momentum wanes after Week Two

The Conservative Party’s momentum is beginning to slow down – and at the worst possible time for Stephen Harper. Were an election held today, the Tories would win 153 seats in the House of Commons, two short of a majority, according to ThreeHundredEight.com’s updated seat and vote projections for The Globe and Mail.
