I Think I Was Taught That Manitoba's History Goes Back Further Than 1985
When the Liberal popular vote is above 20% and closer to 25%, the Tories usually form government, as they did in 1988, 1990 and 1995.
But when Liberal popularity drops to the mid-teens, which is where it's been stuck for a decade, the NDP tend to form government
Tom's right.......Except the last time that a popular NDP Premier with a tired government went for three majorities.
Just a lowly thirty years ago, Ed Schreyer learned that the Liberals could poll as low as 12.3% and it still wouldn't save the NDP government.
Beware of bad punditry, readers. Too many assumptions are made on generalizations. Remember how the analysts did in the civic election?
The first thing to realize is that Tom Brodbeck's a complete flake, who's horrific misinterpretation of events, facts, and reports is killing the brain cells of Sun readers.
Of course, I think we're about to cut the Sun from our reading list. The Sun just reported that the RCMP consider the shooting of two men up north "suspicious". Well, GEEZ really???
