A few remarks...
In Alberta, the Tories re-solidify their stranglehold, robbing the NDP of the seat that was projected there last time.
In the Atlantic, the Conservatives make up the ground they had lost in the last projection but Elizabeth May pulls ahead in Central Nova winning by just under 3 points over MacKay with the NDP placing a close third.
In Quebec, this projection shows the NDP losing their toe-hold, with Mulcair losing Outremont by only 0.72%.
I'll continue to update daily until October 14. I welcome your suggestions if you think any aspect of the formula needs to be adjusted.
NOTE: These projections do not reflect the wishes, nor predictions, of the author. They are based on simple math using the criteria outlined here and here.

I have reincarnated this old blog and will be following both the national as well as the local developments in the New Brunswick region leading up to the 2011 federal election.

Putting the latest Harris-Decima numbers in the Hill & Knowlton election predictor, the Greens lose Central Nova but win Vancouver Quadra. The NDP pick up a seat in Sask. Trudeau and Ignatieff lose their seats. The latest Nanos numbers add up to 101 per cent, so I don't know how accurate a projection would be, who do you take the numbers from.
Yay, projections! Hmm..things seem better for the CPC than I would have thought.
If they end up anywhere from 150 to 154, at least 5-6+ Grits will cross the floor for 4 years of job security.
Nuna - as explained in the previous posts, I have adjusted the base results from 2006 so it wouldn't be the same as plugging the H&K predictor, plus I do it on a regional basis and with an average of all recent polls.
There is nothing wrong with numbers adding to 101, it is due to rounding.
If the results were:
CPC 35.5
Lib 25.5
NDP 20.5
Grn 9.5
BQ 9.0
And it was rounded off to the nearest whole numbers you would get:
CPC 36
Lib 26
NDP 21
Grn 10
BQ 9
And it would add to 102.
I get my numbers from each of the pollsters websites.
Those Quebec numbers, for some reason, strike me as eerily (election day) accurate. I just have a hunch.
