She'd never thought she could, not with 43 years of Conservative rule in this riding to back up the winning opposition. But she did hope she would do better than 6,783 votes she polled for the Liberals on Thursday night. "TI was, and am a little disappointed,"' she ad- mitted. "If I was in second place - I would have liked that." But she took comfort in her leader Stuart Smith's victory as possible leader of the opposition at Queen's Park (final outcomes depend on recounts in two ridings which could see the NDP and Liberals tied with the same number of seats in Toronto.) In a _ post- election interview Mrs. Bingham, an _ Orillia residegt and veteran of two provincial elections, was a bit reticent when asked if she thought Smith and the Liberals could have formed a minority government if the campaign had been somewhat longer. "T think....if there had been one more week in the campaign, it could have been very dif- ferent,"' she Said cautiously, adding she and her canvassers found an increase in the Liberal campaign's momentum in the final week of canvassing." People were definitely more receptive." Her camping, she felt, was by and large as she and her campaign manager Jack Andre wanted it. "I think I spoke to the issues, especially in this end of the riding, she said, referring to the fact that she pressed in- cumbent Gord Smith and the Conservatives into taking a stand on an acre of provincially owned land needed by Orillia to complete its industrial park. Clean campaign "It was a good, clean campaign and I'm pleased with the fact that we are the opposition," Bingham said Thursday after the results were out."' A minority government is okay, this way we all have a say in the proceeds."' She did however admit that, if she could do it over again, she would do more campaigning in Midland area as this is where her 1975 strength had come from. Mrs. Bingham polled only 21 per cent of the popular vote in 1977 compared to 24 per cent and 7,334 votes in 1975. "T think the difficulty was that so many people didn't want the NDP for a government," Bingham explained.
