Some ridings are real squeakers. 10 or 11 vote margins in 2 ridings. Seems the northern french speaking areas went Lib and the south english speaking areas went Con. Generally.

Should be an interesting next couple of days deciding the final outcome.

Voters in New Brunswick have turned have their backs on the province’s entrenched two-party system for the first time in a generation, electing enough third party candidates to leave the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives in a virtual dead heat in a minority legislature.

Four hours after the polls closed Monday, the Tories had won 22 seats, the incumbent Liberals had 21, the right-of-centre People’s Alliance had three and the Greens three. The NDP was shut out of the race.

As Higgs spoke, the final seat numbers appeared to change, leaving to two main parties temporarily in a tie at 21.

“It’s going to be a long night,” he said. “I guess probably Brian Gallant and I will both be lined up at the lieutenant-governor’s office in the morning.”

In NB I wouldn't hesitate to vote with either PC or Lib depending on the issues of the day, as NB PC is nothing like the Federal Reform/Con party.
NDP never had it great it NB , either 3rd, 4th or nada.Now with lowest vote since early 70's

It's gonna get messy like BC, minority gov and all. Sadly the economy is *bleep* there, beautiful province though for anyone who ventures off the hwy

Congratulations to the people of New Brunswick for being smart folks and completely abandoning the NDP clowns.

Looks like the latte complexes Vancouver-Victoria and parts of Toronto will be the last bastions for the NDP. That's if the Green* phonies don't trounce them there.

The success shown by the People's Alliance party bodes well for Max Bernier and his CPP.

This is great fun for political junkies
