Manitoba election yields stalemate and redistribution debate
Manitoba voters produced a record turnout around 60 percent on June 16, delivering the Conservatives 41 percent of the popular vote and the Liberals 35 percent with the CCF at 20 percent. Although the Tories won the most seats, 26, they failed to secure a majority, forcing a political stalemate and a likely fresh campaign. Redistribution reshaped Winnipeg ridings into twenty single-seat constituencies, hurting Liberal hopes and boosting Conservative and CCF gains. No woman will sit in the legislature for a 25th term. the last female member was Edith Rogers in 1920.
