Trudeau holds on
The results to date in Canada are:
- Conservatives 34.4%, 121 seats
- Liberals 33.1%, 155 seats
- New Democrats 15.9%, 24 seats
- Bloc Quebecois 7.7%, 32 seats
- Greens 6.5%, 3 seats
So it will almost certainly be a Liberal minority Government supported by the NDP.
It’s interesting that in this case FPP helps the Liberals immensely. They got fewer votes than the Conservatives but 34 more seats.
There was a swing against the left. The Liberals lost 29 seats and the NDP 18 seats, but not enough to change the Government.
It will be interesting to see if Trudeau’s 2nd term is less scandal ridden than his first.
