The prospect of a minority government coupled with the need to pass a budget in the legislature after the election could produce a long, hot summer of political manoeuvring.Mainstreet Research released its poll on the Newfoundland and Labrador election. It basically shows what Abacus and Forum showed, which is a slightly Conservative lead in overall vote intention.
With that and the election due tomorrow, here's a guess at a possible seat count. This is based on the polls, observation of the campaign, and a bit of guesswork. There is no right answer and this version could be off by a seat or two for the Liberals. You might add an extra New Democrat to the mix but no more. There might be one fewer Independent.
