I like the Green Party, but I voted Liberal. I didn't want the Conservatives to get in, above all else.

I voted for a random party who I don't care for. Besides voting is useless. But I voted since my parents and family forced me. Not much improvement I guess. :roll:

Quote:
The Liberals have a majority ? the party?s fourth straight mandate.
Kathleen Wynne got a helping hand from her rivals ? one of whom scared voters, the other of whom left them disillusioned
Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak has stepped down
Ontario voter turnout is ? wait for it ? actually going up
The NDP lost in Toronto?s urban heartland, but clung tight ridings in Brampton and Oshawa
Twitter had opinions about all this ? and about one broadcaster calling homosexuality a ?lifestyle choice?


I heard the journalist refer to her lesbian status as a lifestyle choice and thought it was odd.

Wynne is the first openly gay premier in Ontario. And the first woman.

I can see this leading to more debt and more scandals. I'm no conservative but Hudak definitely should've won, for the good of Ontario.

Sure--provided you like a Mike Harris clone.
