I think I may have lost a few friends on social media because of the election results. I've traditionally been more conservative than liberal so I'm pretty satisfied with the results (hey, I used to be more right than the right in the US...I've only mellowed out a little since university). And consider that the opposition is more left winged than the (now-on-life-support) Liberals, I think we're in a good place, especially. The NDP will keep things in check, I think, even though the Conservatives have a majority. They'll provide more to debate about, and a stronger debate at that. This would NOT be the case with the more traditional Liberal Party as Official Opposition.
A lot of people are upset at my perspective of things because I'm ok with the results. But they have to look at things from all points of view. For a lot of people, politics is about them and only them. Very egotistical, I think. Anyway, I'm trying to keep myself from blowing up in front of people because I know that if I do, I can risk my chances at ever being elected into ANY kind of government. It's best to remain proper and lady-like - you really don't want to have a Donald Trump attitude, especially if you haven't even entered politics yet!
