Get ready for a minority provincial government, poll says

I'm in two minds about a minority. While I (obviously) prefer a Liberal majority I do recognize some good things have come from minorities, especially Liberal/NDP minorities. That said, with an uncertain economy a majority is probably better:

Ontarians are poised to elect a minority Liberal or Progressive Conservative government in Thursday's vote, with New Democrats holding the balance of power, a Toronto Star-Angus Reid poll suggests.

Thanks to an "erosion" of Conservative Leader Tim Hudak's support — and an uptick for Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty combined with the continued popularity of NDP Leader Andrea Horwath — the province could have its first minority parliament since 1985.

Unfortunately the people who support Horwath, and the NDP, are too young to remember Rae-Days.

And the people who support Hudak, are either too wealthy, or senile to Remember the Harris regime.

And the people who support McGuinty have amnesia from being bashed in the head at the G20.
