In 2015, the voting went as follows:

NDP: 33%
LIB: 23.5%
CON: 23.4%
Green: 19.8%

I wonder if the poor showing of the Liberal Party is a harbinger to their fate in the fall election.
Finals for comparison:
With 96 per cent of polls reporting, Manly [Greens] had 37.1 per cent of the vote. Conservatives captured 25.1 per cent, and the NDP 22.9 per cent. The Liberals lagged behind with 11.1 per cent.

Interesting. The CPC stayed about the same. New Green votes came mainly from the Liberals and then NDP.
VERY interesting, and what I would hope to see nationally:
Liberal votes did NOT swing to Conservatives, but to Greens.

The Libs will likely recover some, but if that pattern holds nationally, there won't be Lib-Con majority ping-pong this time.
Minority government of whatever kind, and they'll have to work across Party lines. Sounds good to me.
