Wasn't it supposed to be at 6pm? So what's happening?

If Martin loses...I HOPE that dumbass Harper doesn't win the damn election.

:scared:

Wow, a leather waistcoat huh?...Does his WIFE know he's partial to leather waistcoats? It looks like he's got mascara on too.

OMG, I thought this was a photoshop UNTIL the writing appeared.

What a doofus.

4. So that means...the votes up in like 3 minutes
Martin's not perfect, but he's better than the alternative. I think the Liberal's actually should have replaced Martin earlier this year to try and head-off whats happening tonight.

5. It's happening now.
Martin is better than Harper, but not Layton. Of course Layton won't be forming government.

7. Couldn't the Liberals and Layton form a coalition?
Maybe the Quebec party could be given some role too?

ANYTHING to stop the damn Tories getting in.

8. The Tories aren't getting control
Even if they win a plurality of seats, who are they gonna form a coalition with? Maybe the Bloc would try to work something out, but they are a pretty darn left-wing party.

We'll likely see another Liberal minority government being propped up by the NDP. (Which is essentially what we've had for the past 18 months.) Ideally, the NDP will have more seats to give them a bigger voice, and a sufficient amount to make the sum of NDP/Liberal votes to be airtight.

9. Well as long
As the Tories aren't getting in, Canada doesn't want to go backwards, the Tories are a disaster, like they've always been.

Another coalition then with the Liberals and the NDP sounds fine.
