69.0. "The Winner Of The Next Federal Election" by KAOM25::RICHARDSON (He who laughs best) Tue May 10 1988 17:25

    	I can't think of a better topic to get people going than
    politics! I somehow doubt that there will be a fall of '88
    election but if there is, who will you vote for?? Will you
    vote your pal and mine, Brian "Free Trade" Mulroney...or will
    you vote for John "leader of the Contradiction" Turner.....or
    Ed "The Whining Baby" Broadbent.
    
    	Who's going to be the next Prime Minister? What will the
    ramifications be? Who would vote for Oliver North if it were
    possible? Who cares????
    
    	I'll tell you one thing, I can't vote for a man who clears
    his throat every ten seconds..................

69.1	Must drink with your left hand	TRCA03::KEHOE	Ron Keyhot�	`Mon May 16 1988 13:41`	5
	None of the above... Bring back the Rhino party! Ron.
69.2	Ron	KAOM25::RICHARDSON	He who laughs best	`Wed May 18 1988 12:04`	1
	I guess you're the kind of guy that likes to spoil everything......
69.3	minority rules!	KAOA08::SEED		`Wed May 18 1988 18:02`	14
	Probably the best type of government under the parliamentary system is either minority or coalition. The trouble is, they have a habit of not being in power very long!! Certainly Ontario under the LIB/NDP coalition was far superior to the previous tory stranglehold, and beats our current "SOCIALSPEND" PETERSEN... definite Trudeau undertones: force your opinion down everyone's throats, and give them the onefingered salute when they're not looking. No, landslide majorities are not for this country, the abuses are just too scary. Desmond
69.4	Less Than A Week To Go!!	KAOM25::RICHARDSON	He who laughs best	`Tue Nov 15 1988 11:59`	9
	My prediction is a "slim" Conservative Majority. The PC's will take the lion's share of seats in Quebec but will lose a lot in Ontario. The western provinces should stay about the same as will the Atlantic provinces. I for one do not want to see a minority government because I couldn't take two elections in one year!!!!! Glenn
69.5	PC	TRCO01::FINNEY	Keep cool, but do not freeze ...	`Tue Nov 15 1988 14:16`	6
	... a large PC majority, tho' NOT a landslide. A clear vote for Free Trade ( now that people are beginning to see through the anti-FT hype ) Scooter
69.6	Slim majority	TRCA03::OBRIEN	Glenn O'Brien @TRC 17/6	`Fri Nov 18 1988 11:38`	9
	.5 Wishful thinking. I can see the Tories holding most of their Quebec seat, but losing some in Ontario and the East. But recent polls have shown a surge for the Tories, and I hope you are right. My concern is that the Tories haven't sold this deal the way it should have been sold. Glenn
69.7	No Faith In Liberal Party	KAOM25::RICHARDSON	He who laughs best	`Mon Nov 21 1988 14:51`	7
	It seems that nobody believes the Liberals will win this election! I haven't heard anyone predicting a Liberal win, even MY Liberal buddies aren't going that far. They seem to believe that the PC's are going to win. 148 is the magic number. Hang on to your 'seats' folks, it's going to close!!!!! Glenn
69.8	Glenn is a FPO	KAOM25::RUSHTON	Inspired lunacy	`Mon Nov 21 1988 14:57`	6
	Glenn, the election is over. Your man Bush won. Get a grip on reality, boy. You're already 'Living in America'. Impartially, Pat
69.9	Sour grapes already ?	TRCO01::FINNEY	Keep cool, but do not freeze ...	`Mon Nov 21 1988 21:29`	4
	Rushton, if you weren't a Liberal, I'd swear you were a U.S. Democrat ;^) Scooter
