Listening to some analysis on the radio and a good point brought up.
the one guy (forget his name...poli-sci guy) said this result can be directly traced to the attempted coalition a couple years ago. Canadians didn't want it, blamed the Liberals for it and hated that the Bloc was needed to prop it up. Look at the results tonight and it seems those that were perceived as trying to usurp the vote of a couple months earlier paid the ultimate political price. They were afraid it would happen again is one angle...and they said no way to the tune of 87 seats combined.
Makes some sense.
