If this is not a MASSIVE failure by the Liberals, I don't know what is. In the last election, the CPC apparently won on a protest vote against corruption.
Hello....
They have significantly improved their seat count, and have come just short of a majority, even with the "Evil Harper" crap still floating out there.
Even the bloody NDP has gained seats at the cost of the Liberals.
Now they will have to run another leadership convention... but with what money? As far as I know, they haven't paid off the last one. And coupled with the drop in popular vote, they will have less money to run another election. You really think they will trigger an election soon? Of course not.
Nor will the Bloc or NDP, who will be happy with their results.
So for everyone thinking that Harper did wrong by calling this election, you are incorrect. He has a NEW mandate, and the likelihood that anyone will challenge that in the next two years is off their rocker.
It also shows that Canada is warming up to him. Trust is earned. It takes time.
