I love how the idiot journalists now think they can be all smart and 'intelligent' in making grand predictions of the type. While part of the Purgatory majority comes from their superior organization and true inroads, a lot of it is pure luck from unfortunate vote splitting. I don't think anything in these results indicate the Purgs becoming a 'natural governing party'. Might be wrong, but certainly I'm not going to write an article about it like those overpaid journalists with too much time on their hands.

A beautiful quote from my idiot MP:

GalipeauOrleans Royal Galipeau   
       
    100 volunteers out there today! «Le ciel est bleu; l'enfer est rouge.» Look at those beautiful blue signs. #elxn41 #orleans

Thanks, Royal, I'll make sure to die in hell.

To be fair, he didn't make up that phrase, it's a quote from Maurice Duplessis, IIRC. It's probably not wise to quote a premier remembered as one of the most corrupt in Canadian history, but making an historical reference is, at least, a bit less sinister than randomly saying something like that.

I know he didn't make it up, it is a catchphrase of the reactionary theocratic era in Quebec in the 1800s and was the clergy's non-committal way of saying to don't vote Liberal.
