OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's opposition Liberals could suffer their worst electoral showing in nearly a quarter century, the Ekos polling company projected on Monday. Based on surveys over the past three days, Ekos said the ruling Conservatives were slipping away from their chance to form a majority government, but could still take twice as many seats as the Liberals. ... Ekos projected the Conservatives would win 147 of the 308 seats in the House of Commons, shy of the 155 needed for a majority but above the 127 they have now. The Liberals would drop to 71 seats from 95. Their previous worst electoral result was in 1984 when they were reduced to 40 seats.

The Ekos data was based on an automated telephone survey from Friday through Sunday, putting the Conservatives at 35 percent of the vote, the Liberals at 25 percent, the New Democrats at 19 percent, the Greens at 11 percent and the Bloc at 9 percent ...

But I want it now. :P
(When I first saw this headline, I was wondering how someone would predict some 2033 election with a poll. ;))
I don’t know how reliable are these canadian polls

They’ve just completed exit polling in all of Canada’s maternity wards.
Can we speed it up so they can lose now instead? I know, patience is a virtue, but 25 years is a long time.

Easy. Liberals often don’t have kids. Conservatives usually do.
Democracy is a game of numbers. The biggest population segment is the Boomers, and most of them will be gone in 25 years. Which means that the majority of those remaining... will most likely be conservative.

Cheers to that!
Oh pllease let this be a whole continent phenomenon!
Good day, eh?
