Mays comments....

As for her own future? "I'm not going anywhere," she vows. "We will be in the House of Commons because it only makes sense. We will win our seats across this country, and we will win them in this election and we will win them in future elections. This is not an occasion for tears, friends. This is a celebration of a job well done!"

Seems like the Torries will get 140-145 seats.

[Dion]

Do the Liberals have a leadership convention?

I am actually pretty happy with that. I would have LOVED to see a majority, but I was actually expecting things to be a little closer this time around. If this government can have another good three years, a majority can certainly be achieved next time out.

Yeah, it used to bother me, until i "realized" there are like 10 million people there.

Sucks for Harper, this was basically "the time" wasn't it? It doesn't get much better than this for them; the left being split, questionable Liberal leadership, nothing major to hurt them, but still can't get a majority.

Oh well, would have been interesting to see what a Con majority would have done.

[the_only_turek_fan]

How long does it take for the Libs to remove Dion as leader?

[the_only_turek_fan]

AM77 suggests that the next election could be in 2010.....ahhhhh. Too many elections.

Hey, anybody know why whenever i go to a new page/thread or refresh on CP it always puts my screen at the bottom of the page?

Its freaking annoying having to scroll up everytime i go into a new topic or change pages.
