Well, putting aside the fact that I don't see any problems in making all political parties pull their own weight, it does need to be reiterated that the opposition is completely screwed if this coalition falls apart. 33 million pissed off Canadians heading to the polls because Dion and Layton wanted to ensure that Joe Canadian has to fund their parties, and brought down the government as a result?

It would require a spectacular campaign to overcome that.
