But really it ultimately comes down to optics. This is a coalition that the media, and I think general public, is not being very supportive of. They haven't even taken power and there is public talk of handing out Senate seats to the leader of another party that happens to be a close friend to Dion.

I agree with you there.
I think every party is coming out of this smelling like pigs in a sty. If they would lift their heads up from the trough for a second, they may just realize that.
All I'm doing with pressing this is trying to point out that it isn't a left party or right party thing - they are ALL doing whatever trick they can to gain power, and there isn't really too much new. Just the same shenanigans in a much more serious context.
I can't support any of the parties. I want a new one that seems to care about doing something right, not trying to grasp or shore up their own power.
