Why is it so hard for you to understand that such a merged party would not have a mandate from the
people until it's message was brought forth in an election?
What is constitutional is not necessarily what is right. Unless you can show me that a majority of Canadians support NDP fiscal policy, or an appeasement policy towards the Bloc Quebecois, your argument is without merit.
If these parties wish to unite under a coalition, fine. Have the courage to put your arguments to the people directly in an election.

Honestly, does anyone believe the Liberals and NDP are going to act in anything resembling a concilliative fashion? No... they will simply topple the government in January and force the GG to make a descision then. And the amount of anti-Bloc crap coming out of the Conservatives for the past week has done nothing to help sway their opinion of the whole mess.

Harper doesn't need to sway the Bloc. He needs to sway Liberals who are disgusted at their own party for selling out to separatists.
And honestly, why are you so convinced that the Liberals and NDP are going to act so cohesively, when just six weeks ago Dion bluntly said he could not work with the NDP?
You simply
hope that they can work cohesively. For the sake of Canada, I hope that enough Liberal MPs stand up to their own party and say enough is enough. Whatever you want to say about what started this mess, the simple fact is, the Conservatives have responded to the opposition's complaints. Layton, Duceppe and Dion are the ones playing partisan politics now, and doing so to the detriment of this nation.
The question at this point is whether there are enough Liberal MPs who care about their country enough to stand up and put an end to this nonsense.
