How Many Seats will Sask Party Lose

[farmaholic]

I suffered through the whole thing. My goodness, the talking over each other was hard to listen to.

Does anyone think the omission of the Libs, PCs, and Greens is an issue? I think the debate organizers reason was they thought the fringe parties never stood a chance of winning a seat...

[WiltonRanch]

Last debate Karwacki stole the show but didn't make any showing in the polls. Like Duceppe in a national leaders debate. Good debater but not much him being there. If sask had more than two parties that stood a chance of winning a seat then so be it. Jim Melonhead pissed in his own nest doing the coalition with Romanow and killed the Saskatchewan liberal party.

I have even more respect for Brad Wall than ever.

There's no way I could have held it together during that crap spewing from Brodens mouth.

That NDP chap is lucky he has his teeth.

[food4u]

listen to about ten minutes at the start( busy cleaning wheat) as I ate some supper. NDP leader is your run of the mill socialist union mouthpiece. Has to be the centre of attention all the time.

Good to see you noticed you have an election going on,Sure am going to be happy when your savior gets up and walks on water.

[cuban_assassin]

Yeah gotta give Wall credit for keeping his cool. Cam did not gain any votes with that performance.

I do believe that our political system should only allow two terms for our elected officials. That would force others to get involved and get people to move on before they become complacent and start to behave unethically. All you have to do is look at the Alberta Conservatives. In Alberta it wasn't so much a vote for the NDP as it was not a vote for the Conservatives. Unfortunately as time goes by and more GTH type issues come up we will most likely see a repeat of what happened in Alberta here. That is why I say the GTH issue is the beginning of the end for the Sask Party. Unfortunately we do not have a good alternative to the Sask Party which is why the NDP will get back in similar to how they got elected in Alberta.

Cuban, you think the NDP will form government?

Their campaign is going no where. The last riding distribution gave more city tidings so no bets there.

Kindersley is a race but it is tougher to convince SP voter to vote independent than it is to convince NDP voters to vote any different.

Last GOP debate in US I watched was perfectly moderated, none spoke over another. This open BS was a stupid idea, thanks for making yourselves look ridiculous, CTV and all.
Broten just yelled out words that made NO sense. Never let Brad reply. He looked like a moron with "baffle them with bullshit" attitude. Heaven forbid, shame on those who vote NDP, you are not thinking at all.
Let's hope MB finally dumps those losers, lowest rating of all premiers in Canada!

[Oliver88]

Watching the debate it appears the NDP is hung up on "green jobs", climate change and shutting the coal industry down.
They also want to subsidize the film industry more and privatize government aircrafts.

If you want a carbon tax and higher electrical rates......you know who to vote for.

[bucket]

I look at mlas and ask what have they done.

If I look at the riding and the highways are still shit after 10 years of sask party representation. ..time to give them the boot.

If you ask a question and they say..." I don't know ".... after 10 years time to boot them

If they can't address why grsin isn't moving with two concretes and say shit like it's a federal issue .... they don't deserve my vote anymore.

The saskparty will win but they are on their last term.

Wall is done midterm.

No good replacement.

4 more years with a mandate to steal.

P3 projects .... when will someone wake up. ... they are no ****ing good.

[boarderbloke]

Bucket, with the performance last night of broten, I think there has to be a lot of lefties asking "how did we ever allow him to become leader". Trent Wotherspoon is by far a more likeable guy, and seems to me to have the coolness to be a leader, but yet the party picked broten, the guy just grates on everyone.
Which ndp segment pushed broten to the top? My guess big unions, he just seems like their type of guy.

[LEP]

The NDP have 9 mlas

So to get them to taking government they would need 33 total or something.

You want to hand the keys to that many newbies? I don't think so.

Somebody mentioned term limits. When you only have one level of government rather than two like in the states I don't think you can effectively do that. Because you would perpetually have a lot of newbies that need to ramp up. The only way would be limiting to 4 terms so you have fewer inexperienced coming to government.

As it stand now there are few that stay that long anyway.

[cuban_assassin]

Lep I do not believe the ndp will form govt. The sp will this time and probably one more term after that too but I'd say eight years from now the ndp will form govt the same way it happened in Alberta.

[riders2010]

The newbie thing is a non issue, first of all the leader and cabinet decide everything the rest really are a waste of taxpayer money especially the ones that never answer calls, don't show up, or really don't have a back bone to bring your concerns up. There are some really good people that get elected to all parties but the process that we have muzzles them and eventually they really just show up for the paycheck.

There are plenty of highly qualified people in the public that could step into any of the portfolios today and do a better job or at least do something better than the ones that sit there and answer to oil companies or the unions.

[WiltonRanch]

So Riders you're saying we can find those who won't pander to oil or unions? Yes that would be a great idea in principle. I agree. How do you find public sector people who haven't drank the kool-aid? It would be ideal to have govt not in bed with any particular interest but Govern in the best interests of the province and their voters. Too many lobbyists have too much say in how things are run.
