The NDP majority (11) & popular vote margin (3.8%) are almost identical to the 1981 result.
For the fourth time running, the average Tory margin (in both absolute & percentage terms) was larger than the average NDP margin, although the NDP claimed the safest seat in terms of both margin of victory (Wolseley, 65.5%) & share of vote (Flin Flon, 76.3%) for the first time since 2003.
The NDP's 29th riding in terms of margin of victory was Kirkfield Park, won by 5.8% (2% more than the overall result); the NDP advantage in terms of vote distribution still holds, though not by as much as it did during the Doer-Selinger years (9% in 2011, 11% in 2007 & 6% in 2003).
