In newsrooms all across the nation there will be a lot of wagering over who’ll get what out of this federal election and how the seats will be arranged in the coming session of the House of Commons. Here is my best answer, based on wild guesses, and some inspiration from helpful predictions by my favourite political pundits:
CONSERVATIVE 127 143
LIBERAL 91 76
NEW DEMOCRAT 37 37
BLOC QUEBECOIS 51 50
GREEN 1 0
INDEPENDENT 1 2
———————————-
TOTAL 308
Update, October 17… well, I was pretty far off on my predictions but I was pretty much on target with the NDP (Final results are in bold). I didn’t win the office pool. Oh well, maybe next time in another 2 years or so.
