Singh resigns as party leader.

[–] FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I had 3 people in front of me at my polling booth, got out in 10 minutes. I think that is the longest its taken me to vote in years. I always go first thing in the morning, lol. Hate lineups.

"That's not an applause line." lol

[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

There was a long line out the door of the polling place, but they were all new registrations.

No line at my poll, so I was out in the rain again in about two minutes.

I may as well get to bed, but I wish I would know before if the NDP will have enough seats to prop up an LPC minority. I'd hate to see the LPC+NDP be one or two seats short, leaving the CPC/BQ with enough votes to stymie everything. Right now it's sitting at 170 combined, need 172 or more to make it work.

NDP needs to drop Singh. Conservatives need to drop PP.

[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Singh just announced he is stepping down as party leader.

I dont believe the hype. I think he'd have been great.

This might be the most interesting thing so far, actually, with the orange-blue swing votes in second place.

Poilievre could leave this as a freshly minted lobbyist: His first normal job.

When my special ballot hadn't shown up the local election office said that there is still a process to vote in person, you have to sign a statement saying you have not voted yet. It showed up the next day but according to them there is a process but they don't mention it unless it's really needed. It was last Thursday so I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to vote at all.

Interactive live results pages are clearly losing this election.

"He's earned his right to stay as leader."
Dude it's not even guaranteed that he's keeping his seat.

The NDP had 9 years to press the promise of PR and did nothing. Fuck em. I hope they lose party status.

It was a mistake (in obvious retrospect) to not settle for RCV. Singh made his weekend speech, "vote strategically to not split for CPC win", which never has to be said under RCV. You can instead double down on why you should be first or 2nd choice, and voter only needs to agree to help you/party. You don't get strategic voting instructions from mainstream media. You have to rely on actively searched for leaked polling data that may or may not be true.
