Article en français (La Presse)

The Liberals under Susan Holt have won the majority of seats in the New Brunswick election.

At 9 p.m., with 80 per cent of the polls reporting, the Liberals were leading 31 ridings, the Progressive Conservatives were leading in 16 and the Greens were leading in two ridings.

Just before 9 p.m., CBC projected wins for Holt and Green Party Leader David Coon, who both ran for Fredericton seats, but PC Leader Blaine Higgs lost his Quispamsis riding to Liberal Aaron Kennedy.

Sooooo, this Susan Holt is going to implement a more fair and representative voting system because it's the moral thing to do, right?

Right?

(This is a pro-PR post, not an anti-Liberal post, btw)

I really wish the Greens would push the Libs hard on electoral reform. It's wildly undemocratic that we have a riding (Riverview) where the Cons won with ~39% of the vote, when the Libs had ~34% and the Greens had ~25%.
