Death throes of the Martin Liberals

It's almost unfathomable how the once-mighty Liberals have fallen so far so fast. They have the most experience, the best PR talent, and most of the money, but its gaffe after gaffe. Must be some serious planetary karma that is throwing a wrench into their plans. Could an astrologer have helped Martin save his government? Doubt it, since the planet of change, Uranus, is conjoining Jupiter which represents the sitting government in the Canada horoscope while aspecting the Sun, the natural significator for leadership.

With only ten days to go before the election, the only question now is will the Conservatives have enough strength to get a majority in Parliament which requires 155 out of a total of 308 seats. The latest poll projection has them winning 152 seats. With a majority, they can implement all of their platform with relatively little horse-trading. If they get less than 155 seats, then they have to enter into negotiations with other parties to assure passage of any bills.
At the outset, I predicted a Conservative win but assumed it would be a minority because a majority simply seemed impossible. Now it seems that is it not only possible but likely. It would almost require a political miracle to prevent it. And now I wonder: what is the difference in astrological signature between a majority and minority government?
