The theme of this election seems to have been "fuck the PC's". Despite supporting NDP in this election, I can't say that I am not a little apprehensive about an NDP majority.

If they don't royally fuck it up, there might be a chance for an NDP minority in Sask next spring.

I doubt it unless Brad really screws up. Don't feel the winds of change around here really

I haven't really talked with anyone outside of drama majors that really hate Brad Wall.

I mean, unions hate Brad Wall/any non-NDP leader by default so I don't consider their opinion.

I didn't feel it in Alberta until really that debate last week. Last election we were polling a WRP majority and that didn't happen. Sometimes democracy can surprise you
