Celebrate Good Times

Alberta has voted for change. It has elected the PC party for another 4 years with a massive majority. Ok actually only 20 % of the population voted for the PC's, but they still took 72 seats. Alberta only has 83. I actually live in one of the only ridings not won by the Tories. Scud Stud Arthur Kent was unable to unseat incumbent Dave Taylor of the Liberals. Preston Manning was on CBC this week saying the Liberals should actually change their name because their are equated with losing. The Alberta Liberal party has lost 23 straight elections. The dominance of the Tories pretty much keeps any body with any charisma from taking the party to higher levels.

So is this what its is like to live in a dictatorship? We love you Ed!!!

Anyway we'll see what happens over the next 4 years. The next election is to have new electoral boundaries and maybe that will change things because the rural areas will lose some of their seats to the more densely populated municipalities. Calgary loves the conservative lifestyle so who knows if things will change too much here, but you never know.

Anyway to quote or nearly quote Kent Brockman

'I've said it before and I'll say it again, Democracy simply doesn't work.'
