In a rather comforting turn of events, it would appear that the Liberal Party of Canada has now led the national polls for seven consecutive months. In the latest compilation of polling data from ThreeHunredEight.com, the seat projections for the new make-up of a House of Commons are intriguing, and show that change could be in the cards for 2015.

If an election were held today, the popular vote would be as follows:
  • 35.2% for the Liberal Party of Canada
  • 28.9% for the Conservative Party of Canada (Government)
  • 23.7% for the New Democratic Party of Canada (Opposition)
  • 5.9% for the Bloc Québécois
  • 5.5% for the Green Party of Canada

These numbers would translate into House of Commons representation as follows:

  • 130 seats for the Liberal Party of Canada
  • 121 seats for the Conservative Party of Canada (Government)
  • 70 seats for the New Democratic Party of Canada (Opposition)
  • 15 seats for the Bloc Québécois
  • 2 seats for the Green Party of Canada

Now, of course, such a result would not guarantee that the Conservative Party would cease to be the Government of Canada. Since no party would have a majority of seats, it would be the right of the incumbent Government to meet the new House of Commons and attempt to secure its confidence -- which it could accomplish, if improbably, with the support of either the Liberals or the New Democrats.

I'm not going to get too excited, polls, to me, don't mean a hell of a lot, too easy to rig. Don't forget, harper had a "majority" of, what, 38%ish,and he still has two years. The big thing is, you can't underestimate the stupidity of rabid, zealot conservatives, look at the people that still support ford.

Either way - up or down. Canadians don't like a governemnt that has been in too long. The Cons have been in too long. The best governments we've had in the past were Liberal minority with NDP support. We can only hope.

The Cons may be wiped out in the next election like what happened with the previous PC Party which reduced to 2 seats
