The popular vote's a bit of a surprise to me, I expected it to be closer, but it feels like the Voters were tired of the idea of a spending addicted government and really rejected the NDP message in the end.

The Liberals have to take some heart at 6 to 7 seats though they could still lose official party status unless Ford grants it to them, but they do have about 20% of the popular vote which is surprising. But its clear that the Liberals are going to have to rebuild their party.
