epitome of incomprehensibility

The TV is on, and the election results are coming in. On the bottom of the screen, little numbers are popping up representing how many seats in parliament each party has. The Conservatives are blue, Liberals red, NDP orange, Bloc Quebecois dark blue, Green Party green (surprise!) and independents grey. Each time a number changes, it's like a team scores a point. The Great Canadian Election Tournament.
*sigh*

And Harper gets a bigger minority. I guess we can be happy that he didn't get a majority.

Yeah. I don't think the whole exercise was particularly useful, although I did hope faintly that the Liberals would win--not that they're an exciting bunch, but I'm tired of the Preservatives already. They seem to think the environment is some nebulous political item, not something we live in.
(I think I shall go beddy-byes soon. I'm tired.)

Btw, the Bloc is actually being represented here as turquoise. What do they think they are, the Conservative Green Party?
Okay, I really need to sleep and (perhaps) regain some coherence for tomorrow.

I think the most frustrating part of it all was, while not breaking the word of the law (because if the law was to have teeth it'd be unconstitutional), that harper broke the spirit of his effing electoral reform/set date law to call the election. i'm sure the children will be just as uncooperative as they were before, shitting puffin and all.

Is so irritated by the waste of her vote in an election that merely shifted two or three seats.
AGH.
