I have a feeling the recount on the 9 vote win could go the liberals way, I'm picturing the Nevada recount on veep
I'm pleasantly surprised that weaver said to support another party that campaign reform on spending was his big demand, the liberals can and should agree to that. It buys them goodwill
I also don't think the greens can form a coalition with the ndp politically, it would lead to another election in probably 18 months and most likely a liberal majority, meaning any big changes they make get reversed anyway
Weaver had said he would take into account who had the most seats ins situation like this as well. He thinks long term goals imo, showing they can be part of a government leading makes them a lot more palatable to people who might dismiss them offhand as a one issue party based on the name.
So barring a recount or absentee voter change, my guess is the liberals declare minority government, the green get a cabinet seat, campaign reform, and a few smaller issues
