Because I don't really care about BC ...

Greens came 2nd in Wild Rose. I think that's a first for them.

What's this all about deposits? Canada is not the UK. 10% is needed however to get 50% of your money back. Perhaps that is what you are referring too?

IIRC, Al was indicating that the level was 15% not 10%, and I assumed that he was being correct.  Obviously if the level is 10% instead, it affects the results I gave there.  Give me a bit and I'll recompute based on a 10% threshold instead.

Al was most definately thinking the UK. I know very well, my candidate will be getting 50% of his money back (well most of it goes to the party, and the rest goes to the riding) and he got 13% of the vote.

Just thinking... did any member of the NDP caucus lose re-election?

The only seat the party lost was Churchill. Not sure if the incumbent was running again.

Earl - you said he'd be getting half his money back with 13%? That sounds as if, in Canada, the deposit-back threshold is still 15% (as it is still in India, and as it was in the UK before it was changed to 5%) but you lose only half of it if, not all of it, if you poll less.

No, you can only ever get half back. 10% is the threshold for that.
