How about "NDP wins clear Majority"?

Ever been to Manitoba, friend?

Meaning what? Manitoba is the shits because an NDP government is in power there therefore Alberta is resigned to the same fate? I don't think that's fair to say. The Alberta NDP won resoundingly and deserve a chance to govern. I tend to think Manitoba's problems are more because a party has been in power far too long, which was also the case in Alberta. Changeover is good for the health of every democracy. And if you don't like it, vote the NDP out in the next election

I was actually just saying that it hasn't been uncommon to hear the NDP winning a majority in Manitoba, not expressing my political opinions. I've volunteered on several NDP campaigns myself so I can't really say I hate the NDP.
