I've been meaning to ask, so forgive me as an outsider; Why is the NDP government in Manitoba struggling? Is it just because they've been in power for so long, or has something in particular happened in the last year to cause their dip? Purely from an outsider's perspective, they seemed to have governed well.

Anyone else bothered by a large NDP majority on a minority of the popular vote?

It doesn't seem very surprising, from my perspective. The PCs seem like they ring up huge majorities in their ridings in the south, but aren't breaking through much anywhere else.

About time the CBC finally called it for the NDP.

It is closing a bit.  Usually urban ridings come in slower so there is an outside chance the NDP will narrowly win the popular vote.  That would be that much better for them.

Yeah, NDP are picking up in the popular vote bit by bit.

NDP popular vote at 45.6% to the PC's 44.3%. Slightly more sensible than the tally earlier.

I'm curious how the NDP of Manitoba feels about proportional representation tonight. Tongue

Liberals risen to 5, and tied the NDP in seat-count. Eek.

This is a bit unrelated, but I swear that anchor-lady seems completely out of it sometimes.

Over 5% more than the Liberals, and less seats. Shame. Otherwise, tripling their showing over the last election is pretty good for the NDP.

I don't suppose there's anywhere to see the overall popular vote?

Duh, now the actual chart pops up. I was looking all over the place for the last 20 minutes and was baffled at why I couldn't find it.

I'm not seeing any of this on the CBC's site. It's stuck at 5 seats reporting.

Unfortunately the video stream seems to be the only thing reliable from the CBC right now. The map has been stuck since the very first update, for some reason.

The NDP candidate there I think was the first gay guy to get married in the territory.

Seems like he lost. Sad
