Anyway, my perspectives on:

The Election Date (when ever announced)
- would like to see it in June
Voter turnout
- oh, let say 65 - 75 %
Who will you like to see win
- The PC's
What does it mean for Manitoba
- Hopefully, no NDP for another 4 years. A boom for Manitoba.
Election Promises
- So and so ...

I dunno, these days the PC party is even more uninspiring than the NDP. Can anyone actually name a single PC initiative?

20,000 fewer people, a couple more empty buildings and your choice of Borsht or Rassolnik at the NDP victory party.

By the way, I was being sarcastic

But, actually my riding is an PC in the MLA. One out of the current 20 PC's, out of the 57 seats.

2003 Election results


Interesting, the Prairies vote for PC. Northen Manitoba and Winnipeg vote for NDP. Interesting enough farmers lost tons of money from the NDP, even though we are the ones who don't want them.

At this point, Gary Doer can keep on running and winning until he grows bored of being premier.

I'm thinking he's going to be a five term premier.

There's just no competition at all.

If PCers want their party to win, why don't they get off their asses and force their party to have more initiative?

BTW- LOL at Manitoba Liberals.

Being playing with logos lately.

Made one I think that will be better for the NDP, even though the symbols I put on them don't mean anything to us at all.



NDP: FOR LIFE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way, no news about the election in the past few days I came across.

I most ridings the voter turnout is about 50-60% according to Wikipedia in 2003.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitob...election,_2003

To think if more people would vote, how different election results can be. My thought, if you don't vote, you can't complain.

Apparently, in Australia it's the law to vote in elections.

And most of those people that aren't voting are low income, poor families that don't bother voting. Most of them - left wingers.

The government would be much more left wing it more low income people voted.

I'm not nearly bilingual in Ukrainian. My German is much better - but that is not even saying much. All I pretty much know is a the possessive form of nouns (ka), a handful of words (dobro = good ) and memorised the Ukrainian alphabet - it's like Danish compared to English when comparing Ukrainian against Russian.
