Toot! Toot!
I think people better get used to the idea because like the Economist article posted earlier alludes to, coalitions are likely going to become necessary in Canada which is already a 4 party system (almost 5).
Either that, or our system needs a massive change. |
I'd lean towards a change... but if this is the new reality... the CPCs need to find a buddy. That party is either the Liberals in a grand coalition (that will be less of a dirty thought as time goes on), or the Greens lead by someone more like Jim Harris.
I almost think the best thing for them to do is split again, but pull what the German right does. CSU is Bavaria only, CDU is everywhere else. Except in this case "West Conservative Party" is Manitoba west, and "Progressive Conservatives" are Ontario east.
