After that, we'd have a showdown between Ignatief and McKay and your guess is as good as mine at to who would win that one.

The government being reasonably stable helps investor confidence. I think we can both agree on this point.
If after only a handful of weeks in office this government falls, the government that follows better be rock solid. Elections every 4-6 months because minority governments can't hold power will do no favors for investor confidence.
