As far as the democracy of it though, it's totally democratic. Sure most of us out west dislike the BQ and their goals. They shouldn't be anywhere near power and I can understand that sentiment. Frankly a coalition with MPs elected in every province and of a few political stripes is more representative than one party holding a minority of the seats.

I cant imagine that Ontarians and everyone East of Quebec is too thrilled with the concept either.

And in truth a TRUE coalition would be fine if there is another minority, but that would include members from the other party(s) holding cabinet posts and positions of influence. Unfortunately there isnt a single leader among them willing to do that and would be lynched by their party members if they did.
