How about during the election then...that the leaders campaign on working with other parties and let those chips fall where they may? I mean if its abundantly clear there will never be a majority again, then it is imperative that this problem be addressed by those seeking office so as to know where everybody stands.
Dion campaigned AGAINST this very thing...6 weeks ago, and it apparently cost him badly.
Make it part of the process if need be, but dont tell me that Canadians voted 6 weeks ago to see a coalition government that will include 25% of cabinet posts for the NDP. Especially in these economic times.
Even more ludicrous would be to see EITHER Ignatieff or Dion sitting as PM...as one wasn't ever considered for the highest office and the other was roundly beaten in a an effort to achieve just that.
And Duceppe.....well we all know that he has Canada's interests at the very bottom of his list, so he should be no where NEAR any policy making.
That's why this is a coup and a joke.
