By my (very) rough count, NDP 42 years, PCs 23 years.

Gary Doer's record really tilts it heavily towards the NDP. Personally i always considers Gary to be a bit more of a centrist, more like a Liberal and an NDP, though he was canny enough to realize he probably couldn't be elected under that banner. Without Doer, both the NDP and PC's have ruled the province roughly the same amount of time since 1969.
Maybe you should go back to school to finish your math courses. Where do you get 11 extra years from since 1969?
