"Recent" Premiers of Manitoba:
Ed Schreyer NDP '69-'77
Sterling Lyon PC '77-'81
Howard Pawley NDP '81-'88
Gary Filmon PC '88-'99
Gary Doer NDP '99-'09
Greg Selinger NDP '09-'16
Brian Pallister PC '16-'21
Kelvin Goertzen PC 2 months '21
Heather Stephanson PC '21-'23
By my (very) rough count, NDP 42 years, PCs 23 years.
Gary Doer's record really tilts it heavily towards the NDP. Personally i always considers Gary to be a bit more of a centrist, more like a Liberal and an NDP, though he was canny enough to realize he probably couldn't be elected under that banner. Without Doer, both the NDP and PC's have ruled the province roughly the same amount of time since 1969.
