poochy Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 I voted for a third party candidate. You just threw your vote away! Quote
BC_chick Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 You just threw your vote away! Not really, that takes a lot of conviction to do that. I definitely have a spectrum when it comes to party allegiance, it goes NDP, then Green, the LPC, then CPC. Of those that have a chance of winning, I vote for the one that's higher up the scale, but a lot of people (including you, I suspect), like one party and one party only. There is nothing wrong with that. Quote It's kind of the worst thing that any humans could be doing at this time in human history. Other than that, it's fine." Bill Nye on Alberta Oil Sands
Canada_First Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Not really, that takes a lot of conviction to do that.

Of those that have a chance of winning, I vote for the one that's higher up the scale, but a lot of people (including you, I suspect), like one party and one party only. There is nothing wrong with that. It's caled loyalty. I wouldn't start fighting a war with Canada then switch sides if we started losing. To me that show's lack if conviction and integrity. Just Imo which really means the same as anyone else's opinion....have a good election day. Making a pot of chili so I can watch the results come in! Quote
ReeferMadness Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Andrew Coyne's prediction: (he just resigned as Editor of Editorials at the National Post) per a tweet: Finally, my prediction: Airheads 143 Fascists 116 Commies 71 Traitors 5 Ewoks 2 Unabombers 1 (#rathagainstthemachine - oh let me dream…). Knowing Coyne, I assume he means Libertarians when he says Unabombers but idk.

cybercoma Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Posted October 19, 2015 Knowing Coyne, I assume he means Libertarians when he says Unabombers but idk. Haha. He's talking about Brent Rathgeberger (sp?) who is running as an independent and is a former Conservative. Quote

Exegesisme Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) EKOS Seat Projection Lib 151 Con 116 NDP 54 Bloc 16 Green 1 Numbers are in or around the ranges of my prediction. My prediction is more positive for Liberal. The Summary of All My Predictions My prediction in words: 1, Liberal majority is first likely, Liberal minority is second likely. 2, Conservative will become the official opposition party. 3, NDP loses more than half of its seats. 4, Bloc will have a large gain. 5, Green still needs more efforts in future.

Smallc Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Even EKOS has the Liberals way out in front, and they had the parties the closest, with the Liberals behind in Quebec and BC, unlike other pollsters. Quote
capricorn Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 My prediction as follows: Liberal 149 CPC 107 NDP 78 BQ 3 GPC 1 One positive outcome for this long campaign may be that more voters have tuned in and will show up at the polls.

BubberMiley Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 OK, I'll bite. Liberal 114 CPC 111 NDP 110 BQ 2 GPC 1 And we won't know who won until tomorrow. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet
ToadBrother Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 OK, I'll bite. Liberal 114 CPC 111 NDP 110 BQ 2 GPC 1 And we won't know who won until tomorrow. There's no way the NDP are getting 110 seats. If they get 80, they'll be lucky. That means those thirty seats go to the Liberals, with a few to the Bloc. Quote
jbg Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 You are also south of the 49th, unless you have some dual citizenship status.Quite correct and I don't have any dual citizenship status. I know little or nothing about Canada. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

nerve Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) This should be interesting first year or two to see what happens. Seems like the majority is in at this point, atleast as far as what most news outlets and people are reporting. Liberals performed quite a bit better than expected particularly in Quebec.
