Tory Minority (Harper…sleepy)

Tory Majority (Harper..happy!)

Liberal Minority (Martin… kind of pissed!)

Jack: Jeremy pretty much summed it up with the sex thing — and I am not the first person to say that about Jeremy, I would say — but I will elaborate because I like to hear myself type. We have elections when the majority of the elected officials decide they want to have an election, basically. Therefore, when a party has a majority of the positions (seats) in parliament, they can pretty much call an election whenever it’s to their best strategic advantage (generally every 4-5 years). But when we have a situation where no one party has a majority, as has been the case since 2004, the other parties can and often do work together to gain majority vote and force an election on their own.

The downside to this system is that it can lead to very frequent elections at weird times of the year. The upside — and it’s a huge, awesome, spectacular upside — is that the lack of fixed election dates means that our political parties don’t spend over a year campaigning, as is the case in some other countries (I heard). Save for the 1-2 months between an election call and the election itself, our elected officials spend their time in office doing their job.

What am I trying to say? I don’t know. But we’ve got a man whose eyes say that he wants to touch me inappropriately and we just made him Prime Minister.

Hey Matt, you should make predictions professionally. Or not, whatever, it’s your life man.
