London North Centre

[bcholmes]

Very early results: Elizabeth May is neck-and-neck with the Liberal candidate. Although I generally favour the NDP, I'd really like to see May take the riding. That'll change the face of all future election campaigns[1].

By-elections are generally more successful for the smaller parties, since people feel less need to vote strategically.

[1] During televised leaders debates, the major news channels argue that only leaders of parties that have ever elected leaders should be included in the debates (to some extent, I sympathize, 'cause there are some nutbar parties out there).

Edit: May has lost. Sad.
