Members of, Parliament will shortly Jake their seats again in Ottawa and despite many weeks of bard campaigning by all sides, the faces will largely be the same ones which were there before the general election was called. . The Liberal party, striving for a working majority, ended up with about the same number of seats they held following the 1963 elec- tion. The Conservative party made a few gains but not enough to en- able them to form the govern- ment. NDP strength increased surprisingly across the country but has been interpreted by some as merely a protest vote against the two old line parties. Social Credit and Creditiste failed to make any marked showing over previous elections. The final standing Tuesday Morning was Linberal 129, Pro- gressive Conservatives .99, New Democratic' Party 21, Creditiste 9, Social Credit 5, Independent 2. This left *much ,the same situation as existed prior to dissolution in the 265 seat parl- iament, The Conservative strength remains largely in the rural areas with the -Liberals 'and NDP find- ing strength in urban Canada mainly. If redistribution had been carried out prior to the lection, no doubt the Conservative stren- gth would sag and the other two parties increase. Redistribution will cause rural ridings to disap- pear and new urban ridings to be created,. Solid P.C.
