Ross makes his prediction:

"I really think that when voters get into the election box they're going to say they want a majority government. I think the PCs are going to get in but with a slimmer margin of success."

Marilla on the Conservatives' chances:

"I still think it's going to be really tough for them to get 27 seats and I think it's going to be a minority."
