Conservative Minority: What does that mean?
58% Voter Turn Out: Worst in Canadian History!!!!
230 million Dollars later.
Something needs to be done to excite Canadians when it comes to our government system. Too many people feel their vote does not count. The current systems does not allow for any real change, only allowing for small swings between LIberals and Tories. Proportional Representation would allow each person to know their vote would count.

Mr. Harper has gained more [number] seats overall, short of a majority. Still have to ask was this election worth it. Aside from inflicting further damage to the LIberal brand, earning a minority is still evidence Mr. Harper is far from creating excitement within the Canadian voter.
LIberals
Short of parting the Hudson Bay, this election was Stephane Dion's one and only shot at leading the party. Without a doubt this is result was disappointing for him. You can hear the sharpening of knives behind Mr. Dion's back.
NDP
Just as those thought Jack Layton may have been losing influence within the 'left'. Jack Layton just keeps on plugging away. Every election emboldens him further. Now will he be able to wield his new power properly?
Green Party
Elizabeth May has made headway for her party, an increase of over a million votes. As the electorate becomes younger her efforts today will reap rewards.
