Well, nice to know the NDP is in second place in a few districts, at least. Didn't see that coming.

Mostly in heavily Francophone areas.  I suspect Blaine Higgs being unilingual made the PCs unacceptable in many of those areas so those who disliked the Liberals either went Green or NDP.

Why not merge with the Greens? McKenzie's comments were kinda dumb. Going on about being the future of the province when you couldn't get higher than 3rd in your own riding is pretty pathetic.

Well, that's not what he said.  NDP supporters would say they have significant differences with the Greens.  I certainly don't know that the "NDP is the future of the province" but how many elections did the Greens run in before they started to win?

Electoral reform will most likely be talked about a lot over the next four years, so no reason for the NDP to go anywhere.

French speaking NB'ers are sounding the alarm on Twitter over the PA's sending 4 members to government.

Exactly. Parties aren't run by promiscuous profs and anti-conservatism is hardly sufficient to bring two very different groups together.

The seats had to be within 5% of the population quota, creating for some weird looking ridings.

Amazing how PA came out of nowhere to win a double digit vote share.  It seems that they just took off last couple of weeks.

Ah that makes sense.

Equally nuts is how few seats the PC's have lost due to vote splits. You'd think the Liberals would win half a dozen seats off PA's surge, but apparently not.

Libs down 11 to Greens in MEMRAMCOOK-TANTRAMAR. One poll get. Libs could jet barely squeak ahead in seat totals.

Are most of the Liberal ridings the Liberals are losing the open seat Liberal ridings?

Will really depend on where the poll is. The francophone part of the rising is hardcore Liberal, but the rest of the rising is pretty weak for them.

Wonder if that's indicative of something or just luck of the draw.

Yeah, the rest of the riding is Sackville, a university town - i.e. very Green friendly.

I'm sure many of the Liberal MLAs are cabinet ministers, but there were, I believe, 7 or 8 ridings where Liberal MLAs weren't 'reoffering.'

Rick Doucet who had been a Liberal MLA since I believe 2003 though lost pretty badly.

My usual question in these situations: any possibility of a 'grand coalition'? Smiley
