Amongst people I know and from some media reports, many people who otherwise wouldn't have voted got out to vote against Mar. His comments on healthcare, the transition allowance issue, and the fact that he came across as one of the good old boy Tories entrenched in government rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Gary came off as a greasy politician to many people.
Im hoping Redford's win will shake things up a bit. Forty years of government leads people to be too comfortable and almost feel they're entitled to govern. Too many long standing MPs and associated bureaucracy. Fresh blood will do the province good. It should also make the next election interesting with the Wild Rose angle.
