Yikes. Some of these NDP results in inner-city Edmonton look like they were out of Uzbekistan or Belarus. Tongue

Ouch, the PC Cabinet Minister I met a few months ago is in third place.

Ah, the kiss of death. Tongue

Correction, she is (was) not a cabinet minister. But I did shake her hand in front of cameras.

The PCs are second in popular vote, but third in seat count. FPTP bites in the ass.

Prentice sounds like a bureaucrat or CEO, not a politician.

What a joke. At least have the dignity to be a backbench MLA and serve the constituents who gave you a mandate.

Interesting to see the severe criticism of Prentice for resigning as an MLA immediately - that's a fairly common occurrence in Australia.

He was elected in a byelection a few months ago. He then called an early election just 'cus. So the voters of his constituency will be voting three times (!!) in a year purely because of his ego. Roll Eyes

The actual -stans (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, etc) are oil-rich kleptocratic one-party states which maintain their power by rewarding cronies and resorting to a combination of patronage, fear-mongering, and vote-buying to win elections.

Wait a minute...
