BURLINGTON, ON
What will the province look like on Friday June 3rd?
Put a different way – How bad could it be?
Province wide the polls say that Doug Ford will be returned at Premier.
Who will form the Opposition?
The polls again suggest that the New Democrats will continue to be the Opposition
What the polls are also telling is that Steve Del Duca may not win his own seat leaving the Opposition leaderless.
The New Democrats will be deeply disappointed about not being able to form a government and will need to think about their leadership.
The leadership of the Liberals will have to come out of whatever they have in the way of members sitting in the Legislature.
Will this happen?
The Gazette survey results show a very tight race
Polls are never accurate – but they are an indicator.
Look at the fine print on the poll numbers. There is a +/- spread of about 10% each way for the major parties. Nothing like the usual “XX+/- 3%, accurate 95% of the time” footnote, and with a large undecided component. The polls are a waste of time until they count the votes. Make yours count.
Need to scrap first past the post system….35% speak for 65%?
Agreed.
