@gulovsen
SaskParty is incumbent right-wing
NDP is left-wing (and Saskatchewan was in fact NDP for a very long time decades ago)Personally, Go NDP!

No seat change on the latest update but the popular vote tightening to 54% and 38%.
Starting to get the feeling that the SK Party will pull this out of the fire.
Big takeaway: the rural divide in Canada is very very real, everywhere.
But also: The right wing is *not* inevitable in Canada
-
@chris Sask polls got it hilariously wrong - and yeah, the rural/urban has been hugely building, it now defines Canadian politics
-
Well i hope they recount that asap
-

@MatWright Just looking at the polls right now. I can only think that the polls were too heavily weighted in urban or suburban ridings. I don’t see the popular votes getting that tight. Or perhaps more people came out in the rural areas than in previous elections. who knows!

We could be nearing the call for the Sask Party. CBC is projecting SKParty is at 30 elected. Moose Jaw is key. The NDP had hoped to flip that riding but it looks like they are coming up just short.
We are at 89% of voting stations reporting and 15 of the 61 ridings have completed all counting for tonight.
-
@chris no, I think the rural vote level was the same, the urban didn't show - but there are mail in's - it's BC all over again
-
@MatWright I don't think it's going to be like BC. It looks like they are about to call it for SK

@LALegault @lowies @ianhecht I don't think it's going to be that close in the end. I expect it to be called tonight by CBC
-
@chris damn, I had hopes
-
@MatWright still a huge improvement for the NDP and a big slap to the SK Party

Based on what?
Returns are low still
-
@chris true, but the PP folks will take that as a big win - next week US election, then Nova Scotia - the theatre continues

@LALegault @lowies @ianhecht CBC is already projecting Sask Party elected in 30 and they pointed to a Moose Jaw riding as being 31. So that's enough to call it. It might still be narrower in seat count, but who leads the government is lessening in question
-
@MatWright It's bonkers!
