And on top of that, then you're voting for a threeheaded leadership...certainly not a strong leadership structure for a country even in the best of times, let alone when the country needs strong direction one way or another....nevermind with those 3 particular people being at the top.

Look, I'm sure noone wants to see another election and I'm sure cooler and more rational heads in the Liberal hierarchy will most likely abort an alliance that would hurt their party in the long run. However, give credit to only one person for this debacle. Sweaters. Someone should very carefully and repeatedly tell this monarch that a minority rule government is just that. He keeps trying to bully and legislate like he has a majority. He keeps playing chicken and then when he realizes that the other parties finally call him on it, he backtracks on three major announcements he made. If he is lucky, maybe Iggy and some other liberals will meet with Harper and heal some of the friction that exists. As for the separatists, telling Quebecors that they are a nation within a nation is not really uniting Canada either. Kowtowing to the province of Quebec is not unique to any one party.
