Why do you dismiss the possible coalition as an issue for voters? I don't get it.
When the last attempt was tried, it became overwhelmingly obvious that Canadians simply didnt want it to happen. Even Liberal party supporters didnt want it, and who can blame them. When they would be sitting with Layton as deputy PM, the Bloc having a say in financial matters affecting the whole country...you bet your ass its an issue, and a big one at that.
And just to reiterate....should any 2 parties be able to form a real coalition out of the NDP/Libs/CPC, then by all means...coalate away. But if the Bloc is needed to acheive it...forget it, and that goes for any of them.
The absolute best scenario in this country should the CPC fail to get a majority is for the Libs and CPC to get together and make a deal that will allow for stable governing for at least 3 years and say as much to the people. Secondary would be the CPC and the NDP doig the same, but i cant see how that could work at all ideology wise. If the Libs and NDP combine to have more seats than the CPC does, then thats fine as well but at this point a pipe dream.
