A historical change. If the percentage of voting at general elections in Canada have confirmed the predictions of the major polls, in terms of parliamentary seats in the data epoch. First, the country emerges from a stall in which he found himself mired in the past three elections, avendofinalmente got a majority government, which will be led by outgoing Prime Minister, Conservative Stephen Harper, bolstered by about 167 seats, and well above 12 the majority threshold (before he had 143, with an increase in percentage terms by 2% from 37% to 39%) and as many as 24 more seats in the previous elections ..
But given the avalanche is the social democratic era: the NDP's Jack Layton's mustache flies beyond the most optimistic forecasts and, for the first time in its history, becoming the second largest party in the country, which means gain the status of official opposition of the government Harper.
The NDP has almost doubled its share of the vote, from 18 to 31% but also triples the number of seats from 36 to 102. The third historical fact in this incredible election is the collapse of the Liberal Party, to a historical low, with leader Michael Ignatieff even defeated in his constituency.
Mr Ignatieff is not and most likely in the coming hours will announce his resignation as secretary of the party, although for the time stated the opposite. The Liberals rose from 26% to 18% in terms of votes, but mainly from 77 to 34 seats. Block has made only worse Québec, essentially zero in the one province where it occurs, Quebec.
Two-thirds of the voters are in fact gone bag and baggage with the NDP, and so the block is from 10% to 4.5% and especially from 47 to 4 seats. College loses even the party leader, Gilles Duceppe, who unlike Ignatieff has already announced his resignation last night now as secretary of the party.
Celebrate even Elizabeth May, the secretary of the Green Party, which won her good college Mr Green leads the first in the history of Parliament in Ottawa and earn the right to sit in the televised debates that will be for the next elections. The party, however, suffers from social-avalanche and lost 3 percentage points as a vote, from 6.6 to 3.5%.
I followed the progress of the elections by the NDP headquarters, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. What struck me most was the civility and fair play of the speeches made by the external leader. In particular, very nice and sincere to Duceppe, who finished on a note of patriotism today that Quebec seems to really compromise, amid the applause and tears of his supporters.
Block Quebec has never reached the point of view in perhaps his parliamentary team, but Duceppe said: "The people of Quebec have spoken and spoken clearly in favor of a profound change. We will comply with its clear indication of this because this is democracy. For Quebec and for Quebec, that sooner or later they will see a free Quebec.
" Bello also the speech by Jack Layton, preceded by that of his wife, the Sino-Canadian Olivia Chow, also a winner of the College Trinity-Spadina in Toronto, one of the most wealthy colleges under the terms of ethnic differences (in fact includes the huge Chinatown, Little Italy, the historic first, the Portuguese quarter, and several other enclaves of immigrants).
Layton, in his usual, did not seek the easy rhetoric. Congratulated Harper, winner of a great responsibility, and leaders of all other parties. He offered his party's readiness "to cooperate with the Conservatives and all other parties in Parliament for the good of Canada and Canadian families." But he also warned: "We oppose all government decisions that will be in the wrong direction." As commented on the social democratic supporters leaving the site of the convention, "the battle has just begun, and this time we made history." * All calculations of the seats are subject to adjustment and are made based on data available at the time of writing the article, at 2 am Toronto time.
