The Writ Podcast

Episode #15 - I want you to want me (as leader)


Listen Later

In case you missed it already this week, I’ve started my series of post-election analyses of each party’s performance. Check them out below (subscribers only):

* For the Liberals, a win’s a win — but also a warning

* Conservatives still losing where they need to win

This week on The Writ podcast:

In the news

* Erin O’Toole holds a meeting with his new caucus for the first time and emerges with his leadership intact, for now.

* A judicial recount overturns the preliminary results in a Quebec riding, meaning not a single seat changed hands in the province.

* Former Manitoba premier Brian Pallister resigns his seat of Fort Whyte.

* Saskatchewan NDP leader Ryan Meili passes a leadership vote, though not exactly with flying colours.

* Sabrina Nanji of Queen’s Park Observer joins the podcast for her first update on the election goings-on at the Ontario legislature.

Polls of the week

* François Legault is sitting pretty in the latest Léger poll out of Quebec.

* Jason Kenney is sitting…ugly?…in a new ThinkHQ poll out of Alberta.

Questions and answers

* What do the federal results in Quebec say about next year’s provincial election?

* What’s the new path to a majority for the Liberals or Conservatives?

* Notable second-place finishes on election night.

#EveryElectionProject

* The 1987 New Brunswick election, in which voters decided an opposition was optional.

If you have any questions you’d like me to answer in next week’s episode, leave a comment below, tweet me or send me an email. You can also listen to episodes of The Writ on YouTube by subscribing to my channel here.
