Ontario Liberal Majority

[IRQ Conflict]

Soooo, how long before Toronto looks like Detroit? I am still in shock over this. Do voters not know how badly they have been screwed by the Liberals? What is going on here?

You mean other than an outright rejection of far right anti union ideologically based policies? Would you have preferred an NDP victory over the liberals?

I give this thread less than half a day before somebody has to lock it......

I'll admit thouigh I know nothing of politics in ontario so can't render judgment on the new government there.

Record-low turnout. Those who show up end up with greater power!

I would have liked to see the unions done away with, yes. I won't get into that here. Lets just say it's personal.

No, I would rather have had the conservatives take over. Far from perfect but the Liberals should make even the NDP, conservatives or really, a broken toaster look good in comparison.

You do realize SSW that most of the losses that made up the Lieberals majority came at the expense of the NDP?

For other peeps in ON....how?! Fine you dont like the PC...but you have THREE groups to choose from...and you choose the one that is the most corrupt? NDP had some decent ideas. Even the GREENIE WEENIES made more sense than the libs...yet the libs are the 'best' choice?

Truly "here is free money, vote for me not that scary bad man" wins every time. /sigh

To most people they think I throw my vote away, but I do not vote for the major 3/4....

Is that why both the NDP and Liberals gained seats while the PC party lost them?

I'm still trying to get my hands on the popular vote numbers.

edit: Certainly not an official record but best I can pull up for the moment Popular Vote Results in Ontario Provincial Elections ? Election Almanac# comparing this to last night's results shows that both the NDP and Liberals not only gained seats, they both gained in percentage of popular vote while the PCs lost 4%.

Here you go.

NDP and Liberals gained seats, Cons lost seats.

No, turnout was up from the record low 48~% in 2011 to 52%.
