Contest Extravaganza!

UPDATE: Just to remind you, there's only one day left in the popsheep "Canadian Federal Election Seat Prediction" contest. Your prediction could easily be your ticket to internets stardom and glory beyond your wildest dreams, so make your guess now. And just to pump you up a little more, below I've posted a great song by a band that I'm going to guess would recommend that you don't vote and that definitely thinks this election is a sham. I'm not really convinced, but I still think this is an amazing song by one of my favourite punk rock bands.

That's right! It's a popsheep contest! Given popsheep's wide acclaim throughout the internets as a hard hitting, insightful (yet sensitive) political blog - combined with the keen interest our readers have shown in Canadian politics over the past year - we're holding a "Canadian Federal Election Seat Prediction" contest! I knew you'd be excited.

The rules are simple. Predict how many seats of the 308 available that each of the major federal parties (Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Green) will win this Monday and, whoever guesses closest to the actual results, will win a whole host of prizes. These will include a special edition, personalized popsheep mixed cd, some handmade buttons, and our kudos. Here's my prediction to give you some idea of what we're looking for:

Conservative: 138
Liberal: 90
NDP: 25
Bloc: 55
Green: 0

Just post your guess in the comments or email it to us. But don't delay: the contest closes at 7pm pacific standard time on Monday. And, while I assume you're closely following the election, riding by riding, here's some election prediction sites to help you out: here, here, and here. And remember, chances are good that your guess will be the only one we receive, so it doesn't really matter how close you come - it's the effort that counts!

Happy guessing! Here's some music to help you in your predicting.
