Dunno that you're following at all, but we did elect the Conservative Party in Canada, which I was sort of worried about. Still am, but it's mitigated by the fact that it's a minority government, so thank goodness for that.:)
Minority Government in a non-two-party system, in case you're not familiar with the idea, means that the Government can't pass bills without working things out with at least one of the other parties because they've less than half the seats; failure passing a required vote and the government resigns, too, so they have to play nice. So, all in all, not as bad as it could have been.
The up side is that our satirists (if that's a real word) can look forward to a lot of material in the near future, I suppose.
