The minority Conservative government in Nova Scotia has been toppled.

Darrell Dexter has led his team of New Democrats to a historic win landing his party a solid majority government. His party earned 31 seats of a possible 52.

Loraine Micheal, the leader of the NDP for Newfoundland and Labrador is happy to see the NDP come into power and says she looks forward to collaborating with the Nova Scotia NDPs. She says “the NDP ideals of social justice, equality, and economic progress are ideas that resonate with the average Atlantic Canadian.”

What does this mean for voter support for Conservatives on the federal level?
