The Liberals have won themselves a majority government. 70 seats.

Conservatives got 26 seats.

NDP got 11. Green got 0. So much for my vote.

Liberals got 42.1% of the vote. Conservatives got 31.5%. This is pretty close together. Yet, since we have our stupid first past the post system (and will continue to have it), we are going to have to accept the fact that even though 58% of voters did not want a Liberal government, we’re fucked royally anyway.

If we were using MMP for this election, it means that the Liberals would have received 54 seats, the Conservatives would have received 41 seats, the NDP would have received 22 seats and the Green party would have received 10 seats, with two seats likely going to independents. And, although this would be more fair, it is clearly not meant to be. Since the referendum was slaughtered. I guess people really do fear change, even if it is entirely sensible.

Oh well. Settle in for another four years of hearing Dalton McGuinty soundbytes from the past two months being contradicted by something he has said more recently. God bless democracy and the silver tongue of Dalton McGuinty.
