Live by the sword, die by the sword.
What does this have to do with voters support for the coalition?

Nobody in Canada voted for a NDP-Liberal coalition so that combo has a proven support of exactly 0%. 100% of people voted for other options than the Liberal-NDP coalition.

You can't simply transfer votes from the parties and assume that they equal support for the coalition. There are already posters in this thread that voted for one or the other and don't support the coalition.
