It was a landslide victory for Tim Houston and his Progressive Conservatives. The party has secured a decisive majority in the Nova Scotia election. Ballot counting was suspended at 1:30 am and the Tories were leading or elected in 42 of the legislature's 55 ridings. Houston promises to lower the HST by one point to 14 per cent. In Lunenburg, Progressive Conservative Party incumbent, Susan Corkum-Greek will be back as MLA after securing more than 59 per cent of the vote.
