Just out of curiousity, if the Liberals had 24% of the seats and the NDP had 27% and they formed a coalition, would Layton become Prime Minister... or would Ignatieff and Layton have to duel it out somehow?
So I wonder, if the Liberals and NDP have the power to form a majority coalition, would Harper approach one of them for a coalition too? Surely it would serve the constituents of the Conservative MPs better to be part of the ruling government then as an opposition to a Lib/NDP government with >50% of parliament.
This election, as boring as it seems, may change politics in the country forever.

Not even close if we are using 308's predictions.
CPC 147 VS Lib/NDP 115
Ignatieff/Layton would still require the Bloc to form a government.
