*sigh* Yeah, we went Conservative too in what was supposed to be a safe Liberal seat. Vote splitting. 34% Liberal, 18% NDP. (Or something like that--I haven't checked the final figures today.)

We really need proportional representation.

Definitely vote splitting. I haven't checked the percentages for my riding yet, but I will assume my family is a microcosm of why the Liberals lost.

We really need proportional representation.

But then we would have this kind of excitement! :P

And you know, I think I'd be okay with that.

My riding stayed Liberal, just.
What a strange, strange week it's been, eh?
We have the government we deserve, I guess.
:(

Well, I definitely think the Liberals got what they deserve, so in a way we got what we deserve too. *facepalm*

We got the government that 40% of the country elected--I'm not sure the other 60% of us really deserve it.

True, true.
But if you don't vote, you have no leg to complain upon.
