Sadly, Green Party is not going to win a set. All I was asking is ONE Green seat, just ONE. To make a point, make history. Sadly, though it was close in one riding, not enough. And proportional mixed system is not welcomed either. And McGuinty is back, WITH a majority. The elections were a complete failure. |
wow, the worst outcome possible has happened. Going to be a rocky 4 years in ontario :sadgreen:
i would have been quite content with the TA voting results. |

can someone tell me how many percent of popular vote does Green Party have right now? Curiousity killed the cat. |
They haven't shown anything for a while since Dalton is talking right now.
But I'm going to guess between 6%-8% |

I live in an absolute hole. No good clubs, parties, and one of the lowest Green Party results in entire province at 4.9 percent, including my vote. Most ridings have higher percentage for Greens now that I am checking out the CTV elections page. Embarassing. Shocking development, though, is Liberals overtook NDP over my riding (WOW!), so despite the McGuinties, Liberals are stronger than ever. Thanks to Harper! |

| the interesting thing about the green party is they went from being a joke, to now, where people are actually listening to them (except the media) if anyone has seen the 'student vote' the green party came in 2nd place. Green party is also progressively receiving more votes every year. In 15-20 years, i could see the green party neck and neck with the NDP, or a close 4th |

Which riding are you talking about? :eyes:
Right now it appears that the mixed member proportional system is not going to pass. |
Owen Sound was expected to go Green. |

Heck, even in Europe the Greens are huge and in change of some countries. In Canada, there's too much of that wasted vote mentality that I am so sick of, people continue to vote for liars and the "less of the two evils" doctrine, while things dont change.
By the way, anyone here voted for the Family Coalition Party (FCP)? They got some impressive numbers in some ridings. Not too bad of an agenda, either.

| what surprises me is how many seats the liberals have....I expected it to me somewhat closer but still a liberal majority. It goes to show that Ontario is still willing to give the Liberals another chance.....that being said the Conservatives had little chance as its rare that the Federal and Ontario Wining Parties are the same. |

Electoral Reform Referendum (results at the moment)
Which electoral system should Ontario use to elect members to the provincial legislature?
Overall provincial vote (60%+ to pass)
Existing-FPTP - 62%
Proposed-MMP - 38%
Riding breakdown (64 ridings to pass)
Existing-FPTP - 32
Proposed-MMP 1 !!!!!

The only close race is the Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound riding..but it looks like Murdoch (PC) is going to take it.
Close though! |
Halton, my riding, is really close.....the liberal candidate is up by 2 votes as of the last update over the PC candidate....this riding has been a PC riding for a long time....I guess the population growth in Milton is making a real difference. |

Sorry, I meant the only close GREEN party race was Owen Sound. That dude was asking which riding could possibly go Green. |

How fair is this - about 10 percent of Ontario population didnt vote for either NDP/Libs/Cons, but they're not going to be represented in the government. First-past-the-post is a sick mentality of one winner and many losers. In a way, votes dont really count in such a system. |
