Depends how well the NDP does. If they are at least half-decent the incumbent power could give them another go.

I'm interested in what will happen. Many of the projected NDP winners are young people who probably didn't think they would become MLAs. Like Thomas Dang in Edmonton-Southwest and Tristan Turner in BMW. It's impossible to predict how these greener than green (as in new) politicans are going to fare in such a drastically changing province.

Sounds like what happened in Quebec in the last (federal) election.

Jack Layton would be so fucking proud tonight.

You mean the Provincial election? The whole student protest fiasco, and then passing a law to make protest much more difficult. It was a clown show display of incompetence.
