Oh my God he's staying on as leader. What a nutcase.

Reading between the lines I think he's accepting that he will quit. After all he lost his seat!

If the party wants him gone, I think he'll leave.  And they should--clearly he wasn't doing things right.

At this point with 140/215 polls reporting, it looks like Bloc Québécois is safe in Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia.

CBC has declared Gilles Duceppe has lost.  If there was any BQ MP I would've wanted to win, it'd have been him... he always seemed like a nice guy to me.

Bob Rae is sounding open to an NDP-Liberal merger.

At this point, it'd be smart for them.  But if the Liberals want to be the "party of the centre" then that's a different story.

You can tell how much harder the BQ was hit by how somber Duceppe sounds in his speech compared to Ignatieff.

Planning for the PQ leadership still, I see. Should have taken it in 2007 when he could.

Well, that's still a huge step down for him.

Leading a party that might actually be able to take power on the provincial level is certainly a step above leading a joke grouping of 2 or 3 people.

Well, I mean step down from where he was before tonight.  After tonight, at least until at least 2015, the BQ is essentially dead.

"Today we proved that Canadians want change in politics."  Not really... you didn't.  The NDP did.

While they won their first seat in an election, they acutally lost 3% of the vote nationwide.  I'm sorry, but I don't see what the big deal is here.  Sure, you won a seat, but come on, it's only one seat.

Seems like she wrote her speech without consideration of a Conservative majority.
(If the Tories won, surely she would have lost?)

You really think it was written?

So, isn't it a bit odd that Layton and Chow are both MPs?  Clearly they can't have the same "home address" if they're both MPs.
