przedThe Bad News:
The Conservatives will be forming the next federal government in Canada.
The Good News:
It will be a minority government, and a weak minority at that. And with them in power, this time the left-leaning Bloc Quebecois will be unlikely to support them and their whack-job socially conservative agenda.
The Best Outcome:
Harper is unable to rein in the right-wing, Christian nutjobs who make up a large number of his M.P.s (the ones who oppose gay marriage and abortion, the rights of women and minorities), then the Liberals, NDP and Bloc take them down on the first piece of loony legislation they table. A girl can dream, can't she?
I won't be moving to New Zealand quite yet, but I'll definitely be watching how this all develops.
