The national seat count so far: Labour 14 (+4) Conservative 1 (-5) Lib Dem 1 (+1) But the popular vote so far tells the tale of Reform's rise: Labour 42% (+1) Reform 21% (+15) Conservative 20% (-20) Lib Dem 9% (+1) Only 2% of "precincts" reporting, though, so will change.

Right down to the name they modeled themselves after the Reform party of Canada, which made the exact same electoral inroads in the 90s and then eventually merged with our Tories and since Harper have completely dominated the party, and the entire Conservative movement. This is scary.
