I get that people don't like the idea of the Bloc, but they were democratically elected, therefore they are just as legitimate a political party as any other.

The problem with every coilition government is it just results in more spending and less taxes.
A NDP, Liberal, Bloc coilition would mean more money for Quebec, a national daycare plan, a national pharmacare plan, and no tax increases to pay for it so the liberals can say they didnt increase taxes.
Coilitions are about buying loyaty, the stimulus pushed by the libs/ndp/bloc last time just cost Canadians money but did little to help. Strategic spending ike the auto bailout or adding liquidity to ans made sense but the general blowing money on projects that werent shove ready until the recession was done was a waste of dollars brought on by coilitions and majority governments.
In proportional rep states small extreme left or right grous re abe to ger their ideas on the table because they can hold the balamce of power between the two main parties.
I dont see the benefit of a coilition, the elected dictatorship of the ajority government is better even if the party you support did not get in.
