<0> Janet, the leader of the majority party in parliament is the PM
<1> TT polls are closed .. it's all over but the celebrations!
<2> Haha
<3> oh they do not elect a pm?
<2> Hoo!
<4> NDP + Libs = enough for a majority
<5> The PM is the leader of the party with the most seats in the House of Commons
<5> falter, no, not enough for a majority, enough for a plurity
<5> and that won't happen
<4> herzen: it's not over yet
<6> falter: but will the GG ask them to form the new govt
<3> whats an MDP?
<4> swigert: of course she will
<6> janetb: socialists
<4> who was she appointed by.
<1> how many for a plurality?
<7> Herzen: no outright majority for the conservatives, eh?
<8> CometBaby, ya mean the counting is all over?
<2> You liberals need more gay marriage and ****.
<8> Waahhh!
<1> no .. TT .. the polls are closed tho
<8> oh
<5> if the Libs/NDP form a 'coalition', which hasn't existed in Canadian parliamentary tradition, it will just piss a lot of Canadians off
<3> whit there are 25 seats left
<5> and the Conservative party will win a landslide Majority
<4> you think the GG takes her job seriously?
<3> how can coverage be over?
<2> I mean, in order to really lead the Western world. :)
<6> falter: well she will do as she is told
<5> JanetB, they're doing it by leading seats
<9> CBC 124 cons, 104 libs
<5> Conservatives will wina bout 122-124 seats
<0> Janet, those numbers on the screen aren't final
<10> 125-102
<1> Election Update .. Total Seats (155 seats for a majority): Cons.124 Lib.104
<7> Herzen: how many are needed for a majority?
<5> 155
<6> Herzen: Alcock is trailing
<3> how did the libs lose 2 seats hehehe
<7> hmm
<11> being covered on cspan, btw
<5> Swigert, Good riddance to bad rubbish
<3> they are showing them down from 105 to 103 now
<8> CometBaby, it's inching up there!
<12> you guys dont like reg?
<1> yep
<10> JanetB, the numbers fluctuate because they are based on who is currently leading in some races
<12> reg is a good guy
<5> I'm going to bed
<5> afk
<6> herzen: oh that would be sweet - 2 of 3 Liebral cabinet ministers in the prairies gone
<7> JanetB: because seats are apportioned according to vote percentage.
<13> when will the results be final?
<7> JanetB: party vote percentage, that is.
<4> i'm gonna go with western separatists next time
<0> ywc, within a few hours
<14> Herzen: but if the conservatives don't have a parliamentary majority, won't *they* need a coalition with NDP to form one?
<6> falter: me too
<4> or the We Love Yaks party
<13> awesome
<4> anything but the libs
<6> falter: but I'll be voting from the US next time
<2> I'm going to vote straight Nazi next time. Boy, I hope Hillary runs.
<3> you would think they would wait to place a vote in a party, till all the votes are in heheh
<4> Hillary vs. Condi
<3> what a strange way to cover an election
<4> man that'll be a race to watch for sure.
<5> plusplusc, no
<8> falter, it won't be a race at all
<3> Condi is not going to run
<5> plusplusc, Coalition government is not in Canadian tradition
<5> Theres no such thing
<3> why does everyone keep saying condi
<5> The Conservatives will simply form the government in a minority status
<15> Condi vs Jillary, i just want to see the debates.
<0> Janet, then we'd be waiting until 2 or 3 in the morning before we had a clue what was happening
<14> Herzen: nonetheless, how do you govern if you are 30 seats short of a controlling majority?
<13> cause only condi can beat hillary
<6> 125-102
<8> JanetB, the left wants it because they thing they can trash her and Hillary will win.
<0> Plus, you get 30 votes from another party or parties and form a coalition
<4> herzen: i think there was a coalition gov't technically during ww1
<5> plusplusc, by presenting moderate legislation, and the opposition parties understand that if they vote out the Conservatives quickly, it will mean another election and a lot of pissed canadians, i.e. a conservative majority
<2> Let's see here...
<14> Rockfish: which is exactly what I was saying
<4> not everyone joined the unity gov't of borden
<7> ywc: hillary's nomination is no sure thing. There's a lot of resistance within the Democrat party to her winning the nomination.
<2> Disco: Shh...
<3> pretty hard to bash Condi.. she is pretty clean from what I have seen.. and her diplomatic skills are amazing
<16> ywc my pet ferret could beat hillary
<2> Disco: We want Hillary. Remember?
<14> Herzen: Yes, that could happen, depending on how the conservatives play their hand.
<7> Even if she were nominated, she is not unbeatable.
<2> Go, Hillary!
<17> I don't think that Herzen. I think most Canadians who didn't vote conservative did so not because of any Liberal/NDP allegiances, but because they didn't want the conservative party in there.
<13> bs hillary would be nominated in a heart beat
<5> I'm going to sleep
<4> i want Clint Eastwood vs. Jack Nicholson
<2> Hillary will be salivated over.
<7> praxis9: no, we really don't. I've had enough Clintonitis to last a couple more decades.
<6> well well well Monte Solberg won...with only 76% of the vote. He's losing it. ;)
<5> Think what you want, the Conservatives will form the government
<9> Nite Herzen -- sleep well!
<2> Disco: Shh...
<5> and if Paul Martin tries to hang on to power
<15> Clint
<5> he'll be deposed and the Liberal Party will be finished
<15> regime change
<6> They'll have to make some compromises but that was required anyway
<7> bike ***??
<2> Herzen: The Americans will invade. Don't worry.
<6> darth: invade?
<15> we should
<3> how can martin hang on if they are in the manority?
<17> harper will cede all the territory to the US.
<18> The Conservative party of Canada, roughly translates to what in US Politics? Demobrats?
<6> I'll be standing at the border with a big sign that says "WELCOME LIBERATORS"
<17> no invasion will be necessary.
<13> if hillary won't be the nominee ... who will be ? kerry?
<0> Janet, everybody's in the minority
<17> Yankee27: repub
<8> Herzen, so when does that happen? :-)
<17> Edwards!
<7> Yankee27: New England Republicans
<16> ywc, lol!!
<19> DarthBurg: how many m*** graves do you think we would find?
<7> Yankee27: so yeah, basically Democrats.
<16> no, gore will run again
<20> lol.
<15> in Canada? two
<18> thought so.
<14> Herzen: I didn't say the conservatives wouldn't try to form a government, or that they don't have a claim to first rights to try to form one. But unless the NDP (the third party) stands to lose or gain somehow in a second election, and the libs stand to substantially lose more, I'm not sure it works out so neatly.
<8> Herzen, will Martin try to hang on?
<0> Janet, the parties will try to make deals among each other to collect the 155 votes needed for a majority
<1> Election 90 second Update .. Total Seats (155 seats for a majority): Cons.124 Lib.102
<7> Yankee27: actually it seems like Western conservatives are the real deal.
<2> The m*** graves in Canada would consist of hetero***uals who never did a bong hit.
<6> the CPC candidate in my riding won big time
<8> 102
<2> Die!
<18> I work with a Canadian.
<8> dropped again!
<13> what happens if no one gets 155?
<3> yeah
<18> from Quebec....socialist, too.
<18> a real nice lady.
<2> Yankee: Ask her for a big loan.
<6> ywc: minority govt
<0> Martin has conceded
<2> Whenever I meet a socialist, that's what I do.
