Canada Votes 2008: Pollster Winners, and the next Liberal Leader

Well, it appears that Angus Reid is this year’s pollster winner, coming within a percentage point of the actual popular vote totals!

Though, as for seat projection, most sites (including the Election Prediction Project and the UBC Election Stock Market) didn’t foresee as much Liberal->Tory seat swaps.

In other news, the most recent Constitution of the Liberal Party of Canada mandates a Leadership Endorsement Ballot whenever they do not win a general election. Let the horsetrading begin!

Possible future leaders of the Liberal Party of Canada, circa 2009:

Stephane Dion
Michael Ignatieff
Bob Rae
Gerard Kennedy
Martha Hall Finley
Joe Volpe (okay, just kidding)
Sheila Copps
John Manley
Jack Layton
