The weird thing about this election is that:
30% of Canadians voted for NPD (far left) 20% voted for Liberal (Left) and 40% for Conservative (Right).
The conservatives have a majority government... but most of the change in votes involved people going from liberal/bloc to NPD... meaning from left to far left.
And yet we have a Conservative minority, and a Prime Minister who I honestly believe has values and attitudes far more out of tune with the average Canadian than Ignatieff or Layton.
Although I think he is a much better leader than Layton. Harper is a very shrewd man and a strong leader... I just don't agree with his social policies (although i am fiscally conservative).
