Manitoba election 2016

Tied in Winnipeg? Must be a lot of wasted support in the hinterland.

What was the Winnipeg result last time?

[DC Al Fine]

Something seems off about that poll. People prefer the NDP on the economy but the Tories on healthcare? That seems odd.

No, its a crosstab of party support by what people say is the issue that concerns them the most

Mea culpa

Bokhari in a three way race in her riding

Liberals to guarantee 10% of seats for aboriginals.

[DC Al Fine]

The Liberals aren't going to win much if all of their strength is in rural Manitoba where the PCs will win most seats.

Looks like a 6th Liberal candidate has dropped out? I've lost count

Who has run the more incompetent campaign, Cam Broten or Rana Bokhari?

In absolute terms Bokhari, but Broten's was worse once you adjust for the Manitoba Liberals being a minor third party, and the SK NDP being a major party.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still vote NDP, just not if I lived in Selinger's riding.

And I don't support increasing the PST... it's a regressive tax that hurts the middle/working class more than the wealthy. Definitely not something a social democratic party should support, even if it is a $$$ maker.

Agreed. VAT increases indicate that a party is moving in the 'well off centrist' direction.

Manitoba election: Greg Selinger, Rana Bokhari reveal tax returns, Pallister calls it 'stunt'

Selinger calls Pallister homophobic in final days of election, says leader would implement a 'Harper-style' agenda

Selinger's throwing up Hail Mary's now. Pallister hasn't said anything to cost him the election.

On another note, I learned I make more money than Rana Bokhari from this debacle

Protester Riley McMurray has filed a police report alleging Brian Pallister assaulted him on his way to a campaign event. McMurray, you might recall was one of those protesters who crashed an earlier Pallister rally and held up some banners as Mr. Pallister spoke.

CBC has video from McMurray's cell phone of the altercation if you want to see for yourself.

lol @ CBC

These articles are psephological malpractice. If someone wins by 8 votes and there has been a twenty point swing since then, their riding is not one to watch

[DC Al Fine]

Last second prediction
PC: 44
NDP: 10
Liberal: 3

So the Greens are leading in two seats right now
