Shhh. We don't actually have a political system. We just stage these "elections" for the benefit of our neighbours to the south. We don't want them to know we are a Socialist Utopia, we'd have to close the border.
Baraka, you are right, an NDP majority will not happen (probably ever) and a minority is a stretch as well. The big problem for the NDP is Ontario. Despite their national numbers growing, their numbers in Ontario are still sitting at around 18% or so. It's up from 9% but isn't likely gain them many, if any, new seats. Their gains in Quebec might earn them enough seats to get close to official opposition status but Ontario is going to keep them down.
There are still a few more days left and Ignatieff could still sink further.
