Sleipnir Posted November 26, 2012 Report Posted November 26, 2012 Yeah elections, even by-elections are my adrenaline. http://enr.elections.ca/ElectoralDistricts_e.aspx Hope the chatroom will be a bit lively for tonight results Quote "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." - Mark Twain

Sleipnir Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Posted November 27, 2012 i'll guess there will be no changes... More like who lost or gained votes, who has gained the upper-hand since the last election, etc. I'm not referring to the exchange of seats.

wyly Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 I'm only curious to see if the progressives of calgary center back the number two candiate to oust the cpc from the seat...I don't have any hope that will happen but I'd love to see it...

Sleipnir Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Posted November 27, 2012 Nope that is not the way it works. As an indication of strength. Quote "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." - Mark Twain

punked Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Then what is? Its nothing. Remember when Kevin Lamoureux won in Manitoba taking a NDP seat right before the 2011 election? What did that mean for the Liberals? Well it meant they were about to fall to the third party in the house of commons. Sorry these bi-elections are fun but meaningless. Quote

login Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) I think this would be far more a judgement if it was Stephen Harper's seat. The thing is, if enough of these by elections were to knock conservatives out of their seats it could convert the majority to a minority... but that is not likely.

Guest Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 The Greens and the NDP going down to the wire in Victoria. If the Greens win, do you think they'll try and do something about the sewage? Quote

If the Greens win, do you think they'll try and do something about the sewage? As I type this, 39% of the polls been reported - the Greens could actually win Victoria.

Guest Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) 6403 - 6388 to the Greens as I write. Shame I have to go to bed. I just refreshed it. It stood at 6585 each. Edited November 27, 2012 by bcsapper Quote

kimmy Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 6403 - 6388 to the Greens as I write. Shame I have to go to bed. I just refreshed it. It stood at 6585 each. It's now 7157 to 7156. Meanwhile in Calgary, the Conservative leads the Liberal by 1300 votes. That's not exactly a blow-out... you have to wonder how close that would have been if Justin Trudeau's video hadn't shown up last week. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
cybercoma Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 Not a good night for the NDP. They need to get their act together, as I've been saying lately. Quote

At least they won Victoria - barely. Edited November 27, 2012 by Sleipnir Quote "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." - Mark Twain
cybercoma Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 I'm predicting a Green win for Victoria, that's a shocker. I don't think they'll win. Regardless, it was supposed to be a solid NDP victory. It's not. Quote
Sleipnir Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Posted November 27, 2012 I don't think they'll win. Regardless, it was supposed to be a solid NDP victory. It's not. 166/256 of the polling has been counted. Quote "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." - Mark Twain
Evening Star Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 178/256 now with Greens still ahead Quote
Sleipnir Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Posted November 27, 2012 178/256 now with Greens still ahead Now its complete opposite, it might go down to the wire. Quote "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." - Mark Twain
The_Squid Posted November 27, 2012 Report Posted November 27, 2012 The Greens and the NDP going down to the wire in Victoria. If the Greens win, do you think they'll try and do something about the sewage? 2 MPs in Ottawa are going to do something about sewage in Victoria? Do you have any comprehension about how government works? Quote
