2011 Federal election predictions and results

[FraserB]

Discuss the results and post predictions here.

I see another Conservative minority government with the NDP as the official opposition.

Conservative 148 seats
Liberals 60 seats
NDP 61 seats
Bloc 39 seats
Green 0 seats

Going with 59% voter turnout

If New Brunswick is a sign of things to come, looks like the NDP-Lib vote splitting could result in big things for the CPC in Ontario.

The next couple hours will be very interesting.

[Supa Dexta]

Peter Mackay wins by his biggest spread ever! Oh yeahhhh He was in trouble,

When do we start seeing results televised?

7 PM PST, 10 PM ET, so 8 PM Calgary time, aka 15 minutes from now

[FraserB]

Results are on air now.

C 61
L 24
N 26
B 3

So far.

[FraserB]

Michael Ignatieff will be resigning in the morning. First 3rd place loss since confederation, loss of official opposition status and the NDP more than doubles the amount of seats won by the Liberals.

[D'z Nutz]

Thank god. If there's one thing I wanted out of this election it's Ignatieff out the door. Trade Iggy!

[FraserB]

Giles Duceppe possibly preparing a resignation speech as of now. Projected loss of 37 or 38 seats. Shows exactly where the separatist movement stands these days.

Sorry ZenOps, Rob Anders has been re-elected.

And Jack Layton has managed to do something that Harper was never able to do...give the Cons a majority

Love it !

[kertejud2]

Ignatieff AND Duceppe might not win their own ridings...Holy shit.

Imagine if those two lose and Elizabeth May wins her riding.

[Freeskier]

Holy eff this is insane. Liberals got whooped! 2 party leaders might not even be elected. Is this really happening? So much for more of the same.

[FraserB]

Looks like a conservative majority, if not it will be a very strong minority government with an NDP opposition. I'm fine with either situation.

[FraserB]

Conservatives have been declared as having a majority government.

[codetrap]

Liberals spanked. BQ tossed out, with their official party status in question. Conservative Majority declared.

The Traitor and the American both lost in their own ridings. NDP official opposition. The only thing I could wish for differently is that the Green won some ridings.

Looks like one riding for the Greens

Really? I came downstairs to check beyond and get a fresh bottle for the munchkin. Gonna have to get my beer and head back up the tv to watch.

[Benny]

Majority gubbment time. I'm not quite sure if I like this or not yet.

Quite surprised to see the NDP so far up there. People must really dislike Ignatieff

[CUG]

This is a beautiful day. Where's Gainsbarre? Where's Broken_Legs? This is excellent.
