http://predictor.hillandknowlton.ca/predictor/Hill and Knowlton's Election Predictor is finally back up. It lets you test potential outcomes by entering swings from the last election between parties or by what percent they get in the polls. Its entertaining, if not always helpful. It doesn't take into account the candidates who are running, just the numeric change from last time.
I entered the results from the Harris-Decima Poll (from the main Wikipedia article on the Election) it was taken yesterday:
Con. 36%
Lib. 28%
NDP 15%
Bloc 9%
Green 9%
http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5hZuJofcVZ-TXNgJc2erR6MNXQ6cgTo get the numbers to round to 100%, I added 1 percentage point to "other" and 2 points to the Liberals b/c IIRC, some NDP voters chicken out at the last minute and vote Liberal. With these numbers, the results are: (change from 2006)
Conservative 129 Seats (+3)
Liberals 107 Seats (+6)
NDP 25 Seats (-5)
Bloc Quebecois 46 Seats (-4)
Other 1 Seat
Greens 0 Seats
Another Minority Government. The ridings that would change are:
Bloc to Liberal: Papineau, Brossard-La Prairie, Ahuntsic
Bloc to Tories: St. Hyacinthe-Bagot
NDP to Liberal: Parkdale-High Park, Hamilton East-Stoney Creek, London-Fanshawe, Burnaby-Douglas
NDP to Tory: Vancouver Island North
Liberal to Tory: Vancouver-Quadra
