Globe and Mail are now doing a really odd thing where they show the Liberals leading in all five NL seats, complete with share of the popular vote, which keeps shifting. Not obviously clear as to where this stems from: www.theglobeandmail.com/ |

ENR reports 13:1:1, although they claim to take only the data of ReturningOfficers. Perhaps every booth has its own one?

And indeed most of the democratic world does this kind of progressive booth level declaration for their elections. It is we who are weird. |

And indeed most of the democratic world does this kind of progressive booth level declaration for their elections. It is we who are weird. Indeed. The way we count votes is based on the paternalistic idea that if we know exactly how each polling district has voted we may start a revolution because village X might have made the difference between parties A and B winning a particular constituency. For example a big town votes Labour by 50 votes and a village in the same constituency votes Conservative by 100 votes thus overriding political sentiment in the main settlement. By keeping the individual polling district results secret everyone can pretend this type of scenario never happens, even though everyone knows it must do. |

It is though really silly to go talking about a party in the lead in a riding, when less than 50 votes have been counted.

St John's South gained by TV personality Seamus O'Reagan for Liberals from NDP St John's East touch and go whether Jack Harris can hold on for NDP St John's East: Last time the result was NDP 71%, Con 20%, Lib 8%. Latest numbers: NDP 47%, Lib 46%, Con 7%. Liberals need a 32% swing, currently getting 31%. |

Liberals now leading in St John's East.
In fact they're leading in all 32 ridings of Atlantic Canada which are currently counting.

Liberals taken the lead in St John's East and over the Conservatives in TOBIQUE-MACTAQUAC .
Looks likely that Liberals will win every single seat in Newfoundland and New Brunswick 32

These numbers are excellent for the Liberals, sure, but can they achieve some seats or win without Quebec?

The Libs were always going to do well in Atlantic Canada, but nobody saw 32 out of 32 coming! (although it's more likely to be about 31).
