Choose wisely.
Nope. there's only one option: Conservative minority. At this point, it's all but a statistical certainty; there just aren't enough seats in play for either party to sway the election from this outcome. Even if the Conservatives win every seat they have in play, they'll top out around 147. The Liberals top out around 105. It's foolish for an undecided to pick between the Conservatives based on fear: either fear of what a Liberal minority would do or fear of what a Conservative majority would do. Neither are realistic scenarios.
