The governing Ontario Progressive Conservative Party , led by William Davis , was re-elected for an eleventh consecutive term in office. The PCs finally won a Majority Government after winning only minorities in the 1975 and 1977 elections. The Liberal Party , led by Stuart Smith , was able to maintain its standing in the Legislature, while the New Democratic Party , led by Michael Cassidy , lost a significant number of seats, allowing the Tories to win a majority. RESULTS 1 Includes T. Patrick Reid , a Liberal MPP who was re-elected in 1977 as a Liberal-Labour candidate (he had previously been elected as Liberal-Labour in 1967 but was re-elected in 1971 and 1975 as a straight Liberal). In 1981 he again runs and is re-elected as a straight Liberal. A number of unregistered parties also fielded candidates in this election. There were a number of Parti Rhinoc%C3%A9ros candidates in the Toronto area, and the party may have also fielded candidates elsewhere in the province. The Workers Communist Party (Marxist-Leninist) a single candidate, Judy Darcy. Ronald G. Rodgers, founder of the Detente Party of Canada, contested a Toronto constituency. Social Credit leader Reg Gervais announced prior to the election that he planned to run in Nickel Belt , but did not follow through. John Turmel claimed to be the leader of the Ontario Social Credit Party during the campaign, though there has never been independent confirmation of this (nor is it clear if the Ottawa-area candidacies of Turmel and his supporters were approved by the official Social Credit Party).
