A new government is formed!! A Conservative majority and NDP minority. What happend to the Liberals?? Well, they've diminished this time around. Their campaign was unspectacular, forgettable, and flawed. The poor Liberals. They will need to re-group and revitalize the party. They've been burning too dimly these past years and need new energy, younger blood.
The biggest surprise to me, wasn't the NDP becoming the Official Opposition... It was the Conservatives, finally winning a majority government. After 2 previous minority wins, they can now finally govern as a majority. I'm personally not happy about it, but that's how it will be for 4 years.
The NDP, however.... it is their time to shine as Opposition. Show us Canadians, what you can do!! The NDP winning as Official Opposition has given me hope, that change can happen in Canadian politics. Two years ago, the NDP would not have gotten close to becoming Opposition.
And the greatest victory this election, would go to the Green Party! Congratulations to Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party, who's won the first seat in history for the Greens!! I'm glad that it has happened in my lifetime. I hope this means that this country, is starting to focus a little more on socio-environmental issues. And it would be interesting to see how the Green party will grow from here.
Tomorrow will be a new day, a new government! :)
It may sound silly, but I'm scared, and excited to see what this government will bring!
