Really??!? You'd rather have another election? I for one would like to see this group of elected officials find a way to create a stable coalition and get back to work. I'm a little tired of going to the polls.
Harper needs to recognize the situation he's in and make it work--I don't care how, but he needs to do it. Either Harper needs to build a functional majority through reaching out to individual MPs, or find some other way to compromise and end this crisis. He owes it to the Canadian people to find a way--and if he can't do it, he deserves everything he gets.
Somebody's got to run this ship--if he can't, somebody
else should.
For the record, I think the likeliest outcome is that Harper remains PM--but he will have to bring somebody in from the cold to help him govern. If he can't or won't do that, then he has a very poor grasp of the situation he's in.
