It is a nail biter. The conservatives have gone from getting 2% of the popular vote to 44%. There are a lot of grievances right now. And the incumbent party has been in power for a long time and there's a natural tendency here to alternate between parties so there's pressure from people who don't have as much specific desire for any given policy but just sort of vaguely feel like things would be better if we shook things up.

The votes are so close right now that we won't know the outcome until closer to Oct. 26th when we expect all the mail in ballots to have been received and counted.
