I have said all along any combination of the Liebrals/CPC and the NDP that can get together and form government, then so be it and get to work.
Anything requiring the Bloc to prop it up regardless of "promises" to just not vote to defeat the house is absolutely unacceptable to me however. they simply wont do anything of the sort without some major greasing of the palms for one province only.
It usurps the entire process that is in place when someone gets that much power without running candidates in 80% of the ridings in the country. It is inherently disingenuous to allow it.
the new GG may have a real serious problem on his hands within a few weeks.

I'm hoping that the destruction of the Liberal's will provide us with some parliamentary stability for a while.
I have a gut feeling that Ignatieff would be all over a minority political alliance with Layton as long as he could make a similar back room deal as he did in terms of his Liberal leadership and become Prime Minister. In any arrangement right now he becomes a distant second banana to Layton.
Plus the Liberal's are definitely going to focus internally on fixing their leadership deficit and their party before they go the the polls again. So being in third place might be a benefit for the Liberals.
But I still figure that we're at the polls in the next 3 to 6 months.
