-=- Liberals Are In Lead! -=-

Bardock is referring to the fact that the term 'Liberal' in European politics generally refers to economics, not freedom of action.

Hence the Conservative party here under Thatcher was considered very liberal due to its commitment to Free Trade. I very much doubt any American spectator would have called it Liberal.

Hence, by using the American definition, the Canadian Liberal party is in fact using a far more Americanised term than the Conservatives, who are using old European terminology.

Yes, thanks for clarifying that...

I'm south american and we have political parties... countries like Bolivia and el salvador might not but not all south america's like that.

Wait, forget that. You're absolutely right, there's only communism/socialism and fascism/conservatism.
And no unfortunally I'm not kidding.

I am very, very sorry for you....no i am not....I don't even care....Commie.

The conservative govt is very weak.

The Liberals are a powerhouse, after corruption scandles all over the news right in every faces, having the whole media going aginst them, an police investigation in the middle of the election and a super strong Harper campaign the Liberals still got over 100 seats. If they elect a new leader they will take the next election easily.

I think the liberals plan is to bring back trudeau from thier ice chamber in the basment of thier HQ.

In reality the liberals need a Trudeau style person to lead thier party. then they wuld easily win.

IF your wondering who Trudeau he is the most known Prime Minister in Canadian history. Liked by many hated by others, he changed canada as a whole. In a better way or worse way is your opinion. I hope Harper is not like the Conservative Brian Mulroney. That guy is the most hated PM in history. He almost ruined the country.

It's was all about the Cape and Twirls... (he wore a Cape and Twirled before an after public speeches... I MET HIM ON THE STREET IN MONTREAL! 😱 Shook his hand) (then he died years later)

Martin's thoughts: "So how does A Vote Of No Confidence Work again?"

i think the next liberal leader will be from Toronto because Toronto is now the Liberal stronghold. About 19 of the 22 seats in Toronto went liberal (the other three were to a more left wing party). The liberals also won 16 seats right outside Toronto (york, peel region).

Agreed, The Conservatives will not be in the house for too long. The Liberals are a much stronger party. Plus I dislike Harper, he bugs me for some reason.

At any rate with 100-105 seats in the house (I never did see the final number. Last I saw it was at 104) the Liberals hold a great deal of power still. The Tories will be hard pressed to keep everyone on their side considering they can be defeated by the liberals + 25 or so more seats. (Though the Grits will need a few votes from the Bloc 🧑‍⚕️ ) to do it last I saw. If the NPD decided they wanted to defeat the Tories with the Liberals.

I'll admit I was annoyed at the final, but I have respect for the democratic process, and what people want they get. (though the Liberals still got more of the popular vote. Proportional Representation anyone? lol 😉 ) anyways, I voted Liberal, so i was kinda peeved. But it wont be long until we see Liberal Red back ruling the house IMO. If the Libs can get their act together.

Hahah, in germany the Right wing Nationalistic party is called NPD....funny.....or is it.

That is funny considering our NDP would be completely opposite 😛

Liberal, Labour both two sides of the same crappy coin.

Sorry, can I see figures indicating the Liberals got the popular vote? My research shows otherwise, that the Conservatives got a clear vote win. I cannot help thinking people are trying to perpetuate a lie here.

Besides which, it doesn't mater- like most Western countries, yours is a represenative democracy; proportional states don't really work as well.

I am not at all convinced that the Conservatives are weak. There have been too many elections in the last decade for their power to be reasonably challenged now they have won a mandate. Minority Government is never strong, but then that seems to be becoming the norm in Canada.

And no matter what you might want to say about Liberal strength, they have been defeated by a power block that only 12 years ago was annihilated. That is dropping the ball.

Well, but they don't have a majority....I am not familiar with the canadian system..but if "PQ" and "NDP" prefer Liberals over conservatives I don't see how conservatives can form a government.

The Liberals had a minority government since the last election already. The Canadian system allows it. They'll just have to be choosy about what gets on the book.
