I think all the hairpulling about the NDP is kind of ridiculous. I've never voted for them to this point but the alliance/reform people villainizing them is borderline comical. A coalition with the liberals would be a pretty solid check on them fiscally - the last couple liberal governments spent way less money than the current government.
Okay, please answer this question for me:

Why would the Liberals keep the NDP in check? First, their platforms are virtually identical, so it's not like they are this great fiscally conservative babysitter. Second, their party will be extremely weak and they won't be able to enter another election until they have sorted our some serious issues within their party. That being said, they will have no choice but to support NDP bills as defeating them would mean going to election that they aren't even remotely ready for.
