RE: Whats your Electoral

I live in ..um... Edmonton West? (It's changed names so many fricken times, who the hell knows what its called anymore).

Liberal candidate: "Landslide" Anne McClellan
Con cand: Laurie Hawn
NDP: Donna Martyn.

Last time (and the times before), Anne has barely won.

This time, i don't know for sure if she will or not. It will be that close again. It's either her or Laurie for sure.

For 2006:

Green -Doug Gook

Things may well change in this riding. Dick Harris has been singularly ineffective as our representative and we view him as slothful and sleazy with a "good job". It remains to be seen whether the Liberal or NDP candidate will unseat him. It could go either way. We don't have a lot of patience with our politicians and tend to swing wildly left and right.

I live in the riding of Newton—North Delta.

Results of the Thirty-eighth General Election

As per the results of the Thirty-eighth General Election, the Hon. Gurmant Grewal of the Conservative Party, was elected to become a Member of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

Hon. Gurmant Grewal • 13 529 votes / 32.81 % • $72 183 spent • Conservative Party
Sukh Dhaliwal • 13 009 votes / 31.55 % • $64 449 spent • Liberal Party
Nancy Clegg • 12 037 votes / 29.19 % • $28 384 spent • New Democratic Party
John Hague • 2 555 votes / 6.19 % • $3 135 spent • Green Party
Nazir Rizvi • 98 votes / 0.23 % • $389 spent • Communist Party
216 ballots, or 0.52 %, were not accepted.

The preceding information is courtesy of Wikipedia.org, but the statistics for the Green Party candidate were amended to match the statistics given by the Library of Parliament.

Candidates for the Thirty-ninth General Election

The encumbent Member, the Hon. Gurmant Grewal, has resigned.
Sukh Dhaliwal • Liberal Party
Phil Eidsvik • Conservative Party
Nancy Clegg • New Democratic Party
Sunny Athwal • Green Party

The preceding information is courtesy of the CBC.

Prediction for the Thirty-ninth General Election

My prediction is that Sukh Dhaliwal, the candidate for the Liberal Party, will be elected.

During the previous session of Parliament, the encumbent Member, the Hon. Gurmant Grewal, embarassed the riding of Newton—North Delta to no end with first, the questionable practice of accepting bonds for immigrants naming himself as the beneficiary and, secondly, the questionable taping of talks between himself and the Liberal Party regarding "crossing the floor" before the tied budget vote on May 19, 2005.

The reputation of the Conservative Party was badly tarnished here, and the probability of re-electing a Conservative Member during the 39th Election is low, although not impossible. The more likely outcome is that Mr. Dhaliwal will be elected to the House of Commons, while Mr. Eidsvik and Ms. Clegg run relatively close numbers to each other, and Mr. Athwal will take a significant, but uncompetitive, number of votes.

On a sidenote, the riding of Newton—North Delta is thirty percent comprised of citizens who would identify themselves as being Indian (from India, not First Nations, to be clear), as per the results of the 2001 census. The riding of Newton—North Delta is relatively new, and was formed as a result of an electorate redistribution in 2004.

I live in the most closely contested Federal riding south of Edmonton. :roll: Ha! Ha! Calgary South Centre

Calgary S. C. (stands for solid Conservative)

Lee Richardson: Con. ..... 26,192
Julia Turnbull: Lib. .....15,406
Phillip K. Liesemer: Green. .. 5,080
Keith Purdy: NDP. .... 4,349

Maybe the 'S.C.' is really for 'Sure-bet Conservative'. This riding is a bit of embrarassment for the MP who doesn't win his Alberta riding with as large a margin as most in the province. He has to pull up his Conservative socks.

The Liberals will lose votes. How many? tough to say. The order will stay the same but with the Green Party moving up quite a bit and the Liberals dropping. The NDP wil stay about the same

Conservatives: ..... 27,000
Liberals: ..... 10,000
Greens: ....... 8,000
New Democrats:..... 4,500

This will still be the Liberals best results south of Edmonton area.

haha, I think you hit the nail right on the head here. For an Albertan Conservative it is not if you get elected, it how large a margin you get elected by. With the exception of Edmonton, and with Kilgour gone all we gotta worry about is that bloated seal that goes by the name of Landslide Annie.

Another interesting observation I have made is that people in Alberta are predicting that the Greens will come out ahead of the NDP, which I can't disagree with. I predict that in my riding the Greens who were barely behind the socialists last election, will come out in 3rd......hell they might even make a push for second.

I am in Calgary Southwest which is Steven Harpers riding.
Last election:
CPC (35,297)......Liberal (9,500)...Green (3,210)...NDP (2,884)..

It is obviously going to be a easy win for the Conservative Party and I predict them winning around (40,000) while the liberals stay under (9,000)..the Green will probably eek past the NDP.

The conservative has changed to Rondo Thomas, its basically a no name brawl here. None of these guys have really stuck out for me too chose which one.

Paul Zed LIB 15725 votes 43.3%
Bob McVicar CONS 12212 votes 33.6%
Terry Albright NDP 6926 votes 19.1%
Jonathan Cormier GRN 807 votes 2.2%
Jim Wood MARJ 369 votes 1.0%
Tom Oland INDP 290 votes 0.8%

This will be a much closer race this time, although I am unwilling to predict an upset.

I REALLY don't like Paul Zed. He is as sleazy a weasel as ever walked the earth.
