Well, by the end of today we'll know the shape of things to come in this country, for the next little while at least. My prediction (and fervent hope): a Conservative minority government. Looks like there's probably no stopping the Tories, unfortunately, but a minority may keep their worst excesses in check.
I'll be off to the polls after work. Electoral result probably a foregone conclusion in my riding (the incumbent is pretty popular - and a good politician, I think), but you never know. There are actually five candidates for MP in our riding - one from each of the three main parties, one Green candidate, and one...Marxist-Leninist. Heh. I think that's completely brilliant. I really enjoy being able to tell people that there's a Marxist-Leninist jockeying for my vote. He's run in every election here for nearly 20 years now (I remember him from my undergraduate days) and he's quite the character.
