For more information on the Batoche constituency, please click here.
Batoche constituency first appeared on Saskatchewan's electoral map for the 2003 provincial election, having been sewn together from pieces of 6 other constituencies. The only MLA for Batoche so far is Delbert Kirsch of the Saskatchewan Party. Kirsch was re-elected in 2007 and is letting his name stand again for November 7. Kirsch faces a strong challenge from Janice Bernier, a retired trade unionist. While Bernier is surely putting up a good fight, it is very likely that Kirsch will be swept in on Brad Wall's coattails again. Also the absence of a Liberal candidate in the constituency tips the scales strongly in the Saskatchewan Party's favour. Kirsch won with 60 percent of the vote in 2007, and could easily top out at 70 percent or more in this election.

John--I know you don't give the Greens much credit, but in the interest of democracy, couldn't you have at least named their candidate?
Sure, anything for you! Her name is Amber Jones,and here is her candidate profile.
You didn't post links to the other candidates' profiles!
Favouritism!
No, but I mentioned them in the profile, and not Amber. So it all events out in the end!
