Do we get an exit poll once all the polls have closed?
I was hoping so, but doesn't look like it.
It's because the polls have not closed in Western Canada.
But all 8 people living there have voted already, so couldn’t they close shop now and not hold this up? Some of us have an alarm going off in just 4 hours and I have a big bet on Conservative PV win.
While we're waiting, thoughts on Runcorn. I habe several family members in tge constituency. Some are making Reform-y noises. But the ones making Reform-y noises are the ones I think least likely to vote, while the ones making unreform-y noises are the most likely to. I still think Lab hold.
Runcorn wouldn't have been the first place I'd put down as having Reform vibes. Based on nothing whatsoever other than knowing the place vaguely some 30 years ago, I'm going to agree with you.
In the Flatlands, though, I think there's a bit of panic in the ruling (Labour) party. We've even had the socialist worker types going round with leaflets saying "Don't vote for the racists" and nothing much else.
I expect if Reform do win they will find out on Day 1 that there's basically no money except that ring-fenced for legally required services. They'll then have nothing to do except in-fighting, which they do at least seem to be competent at.
The real news is that some liquidity has entered the Betfair market. That move you noted probably took about a tenner while people stayed out until the first news trickled through.
Central Newfoundland has been called for the Conservatives. This is a seat they won by just 1% over the Libs in 2021, so getting it called so early is a big positive sign for them.

I think there is also alarm in Lab in much of GM, particularly in the north eaatern boroughs (i.e. Tameside/Oldham/Rochdale). Fortunately for them, there are no elections this year - remains to be seen in Reform can maintain their momentum through to May 2026.

Also quite the variety of churches: "86.3% Christian (19% Catholic, 17.5% Pentecostal and other Charismatic, 17% Anglican, 14.6% Methodist and Wesleyan, 12.6% United Church)"
Well this is a novelty. The first time I’ve ever paid meaningful attention to a Canadian election.
And I’m in the ideal time zone for it. Sitting outside on a balmy evening with a lager at Due in Chicago, waiting for a deep dish pizza and being waited on and regaled by the larger than life original founder.
Last time I was here was in June 2016, a few days before the fateful referendum. I was with a client who was a very good travel companion but also a big Brexiteer and over a beer on an equally balmy evening overlooking the huge and unsightly Trump tower (even he wasn’t a fan) he explained how it was all about identity and to him America was much more familiar and like home than European countries.

I had a vague idea you were with us for previous Canadian election nights, but I must be mis-remembering.
It's very hard to get a feel for how the parties are doing: at the top level, the Liberals have opened up quite a lead - 50 v 44 - but it's only 1% of polling places reporting, and it's only the Maritimes.

The CBC website hasn't called it yet.
Globe & Mail has. And the Cons are at 59.8%, with about 40% reported. So, it might be a little premature, but I suspect not.
FWIW, the seat has swung very heavily away from the Liberals over the last 15 years: I don't know why.

Great City but I'd have struggled with a travel companion like that. Which hotel are you staying at?

At present, I'm not especially worried.
The Conservatives currently look (right now) like making about two gains in the Maritimes from the Liberals compared to 2021, both in rural areas. That was three a minute ago. It's changing as more polling stations report.
The NDP vote is collapsing to the Liberals in line with the polls, putting them ahead in the PV.

Anyone done a holiday there? I quite fancy doing a bit of a road and ferry trip, starting in Newfoundland and taking in NS, Prince Edward Is and New Brunswick then heading into upland Quebec. I always wanted to visit that weird circular Quebecois lake (lake Manicouagan according to Google maps).
Interestingly, the Liberals seem to be doing best where the NDP was strong before. Cape Spear has been called for the Liberals, and this is a seat where the NDP were second with 23% of the vote last time around. That vote has disappeared, they've dropped to just 6% (!), with the Liberals jumping from 55% to 65%.
That, I think, is a reason to expect that Carney will probably be Prime Minister after the election. Basically, the NDP vote is going en mass to the Liberals, and there are a lot of Ridings where that will push the Liberals over the top.
First seat to change hands: it looks like the Conservatives have taken Long Range Mountains from the Liberals. No big NDP vote to squeeze left the Liberals flat while the Conservative vote increased.

The “Londonhouse” on East Wacker. It’s ok. Very central. Better than my last 2 visits.
For such a huge city it has a very compact core. Very walkable, which is perhaps why the people are weirdly thin, like New Yorkers. They look practically European. Perhaps that’s just because the Europeans have got fatter. Like the cars: they're mostly driving what I’d describe as European style cars. But we’ve all embraced the SUV style in the last decade so the gap is smaller.
St Margarets in Nova Scotia looks like it might be the first Con to Liberal result. It's neck and neck there right now (47.3 v 47.6), but the collapse of the NDP from 20% to 2% could well hand it to the Libs.

So this is classic small party squeeze. Liberals doing to NDP (and BQ) what Cameron did to the Lib Dems in 2015 and Corbyn and May did to everyone in 2017.

The Liberal candidate, who is leading, has the most fabulous name: Jessica Fancy-Landry
First seat to change hands: it looks like the Conservatives have taken Long Range Mountains from the Liberals. No big NDP vote to squeeze left the Liberals flat while the Conservative vote increased.
Which we should expect. Conservative polling is up from c.32-33% last time to c. 39-40% this time.
This is what will happen to the Greens and Gaza independents in 2029 if it looks like a Reform-Tory pact could kick Labour out.
The Lib Dems have shielded themselves from this to an extent (as have Plaid - the SNP dynamic is a bit different) by being geographically concentrated.

Yes, and that's also consistent with the overall vote so far.
Cons are up significantly, from 34% to 44%, but Libs are also up significantly from 33% to 50%, with both the NDP getting decimated, from 18% to 4%.

I think there's going to be quite a lot of seat turnover. Seats the Liberals won in two horse races against the Conservatives are flipping one way, while seats where the NDP had a big vote share are flipping in the other direction.
Question for the brains trust? How long before the final vote count is complete? Hours or Days?
It mostly gets done within about 10 hours, usually, going from previous elections as I recall.
Showing the Americans have no excuse.
It's because California counts postal votes as long as they are mailed by election day.
Australia is the same. Postal votes have to be mailed by election day, and are counted as long as they are received within 2 weeks after election day.
Personally, I think the Californian/Australian system is more fair because it allows postal voters to take into account all campaign developments until the last day, before they cast their vote.

I've been watching that fluctuate for some time. Very interesting.
We might be able to get ahead of the curve by looking at every seat where the NDP's are squeezable, versus where the Conservatives/Liberals are close with little to squeeze - especially in English Canada.
In the former, we might expect a Liberal Gain. In the latter, a Conservative one. But there are more of the former.
I'm looking at the CBC coverage. Apart from the usual stupid Star Trek set design, the coverage is really good: calm, the graphics are clear, there's none of the performative gubbins of the US. I approve.

The problem is that there are at least 50 different things that Americas (particularly Californians) are voting for at any time. There's Councilmen, and Assembymen, and Senators, and Attorney Generals, and Secretary of States, and Governors, and Congressmen, and then there are tens of ballot propositions.
Tories leading in Madawaska—Restigouche which went 52% Liberal, 28% Conservative last time. Only 25/186 reporting though.
Yes, we have to be careful as we don't know if early polling stations are statistically representative of the seat.
It wouldn't be that difficult for them to compare like with like as the results come in, since the data is published down to the local neighbourhood areas at each election. But they don't for some reason.
The results so far aren't out of line with the YouGov MRP which had the losses Lib - > Cons in Newfoundland but an overall Lib majority, still a long way to go.
On these numbers, in the crucial province of Ontario, and subject to boundary changes: if I were a Conservative, I'd be worried about the Liberals taking Niagara Falls, Oshawa, and Peterborough. London—Fanshawe could also go Liberal from NDP on a collapse.
If I were a Liberal, the Conservatives taking Vaughan—Woodbridge, Richmond Hill South, Newmarket—Aurora, Kitchener—Conestoga, Burlington, Mississauga—Lakeshore and maybe Oakville.
But that churn still leaves total seats for each party about the same as last time. A few Conservative gains.
Early days, ready for egg on face etc, but this has an overall feel to me of the outcome being a Liberal minority government.
It's not looking good for my £20 on a Lib most votes. All the mood music is Libs underperforming.
10 years in office is a long time. The media went overboard with the change in leader imo. The sort of thing the politically-obsessed are interested in, but not so much ordinary voters.
Early days, ready for egg on face etc, but this has an overall feel to me of the outcome being a Liberal minority government.
I never believed the EKOS polls giving the Liberals a substantial lead in the popular vote.
What we might be looking at is the Conservatives make some credible gains, and win the popular vote (just), but there's still a Liberal minority government.

I always stayed at the Radisson which had everything and the restaurant my New york producer liked best was Maggiano's. As you know New Yorkers are the most fussy eaters so going to the same place saved time going through every ingredient.

Yes: that's what should happen. Sadly, it doesn't happen like that.
The Conservatives do seem to be doing particularly well in Newfoundland.
Historically, the Liberals have always done very well there - which I find funny as it's very English heritage/rural/conservative and I'd expect it to have voted pretty Tory outside St. Johns.

South Shore - St Margarets - Liberal lead up to almost 3% now; I think that's the first Liberal gain of the evening, going from 4 points behind the Conservatives to a lead of 3%.
Only possible because of the large NDP vote to squeeze.

Just 4% or so voting for NDP with a candidate present probably would have kept it in the Con column.
I have to say the Kirghiz people seem singularly unmoved by the unexpectedly tight results in the Maritimes. A definite lack of election buzz here in Bishkek. People are just wandering around, drinking coffee, yawning - it’s almost as if they don’t care
My guess? They’re faking indifference because it’s TOO exciting - like football fans unable to watch a penalty shoot out and pretending to do the dishes

Pain in Spain as it’s mostly off the Mains.

I expect if Reform do win they will find out on Day 1 that there's basically no money except that ring-fenced for legally required services. They'll then have nothing to do except in-fighting, which they do at least seem to be competent at.

Right now, its Libs 1.6, Cons 2.44
