Liberals Win A Majority.
After watching the evenings proceedings, it's quite clear that the conservatives were not decimated or even beaten very badly. Their popular vote actually increased, and the Liberals share increased in proportion to the Loss of vote by the NDP. The popular vote is almost identical.
Those out there looking for a change, will get it........but still a large and strong conservative opposition. The Liberals simply have a bit more breathing room than the PC's had last time around.
Mr.Graham, I urge you not to squander your shot at the "Big Chair." The bloggers of New Brunswick are going to be following your progress, or lack there of. There is no free ride. We have the platform, and the promises. New Brunswickers gave you 4 years.......make them count.
Now the questions.......Bernard Lords Future? Allison Brewers future? Do they stay or do they go. I would have to think they will both step down.....so when? Right away? As we discussed earlier in another blog, who if anybody is waiting in the wings?
I hope all the bloggers that joined in during the campaign will stick around, and even more join in. Thanks to Spinks and Charles for their part in the evening, and a special thanks to all those that joined in the chat. I had alot of fun spending the evening chatting with other political junkies while watching the returns come in.
Congratulations to all the winning candidates, and the unsuccesful ones as well. They all deserve a pat on the back for putting themselves out there for election to public office, and their willingness to serve the public. I know we beat up on politicians, and i'm as cynical as the next guy, but I do believe most get into politics for the right reason. And the ones that forget?? Well, that's what elections are for.
oh........and bloggers! :-)
