IMO, running a little willy nilly and getting called on it does not deserve something so extreme. It deserves a kick in the ass to act appropriately going forwards.
That's my take on this too. I was amongst the most vocal here in opposition to the party funding cuts, but with that pulled back, the opposition needs to pull back too.

I'm glad the opposition is being strong and asking questions of the Conservatives, but this coalition is an over reaction under current circumstances and I can't support it, and hope they back off.
I wish we could see this minority government work, but if it can't I'd rather another election then a coalition.
If the Libs and NDP are gonna join together, do it fully and before and election, and let people vote in that government with full transperency of how they will be working together.
I hate shape-shifting and floorcrossing politics no matter who is diong it, and wish out system didn't allow it.
