The NDP will use its new sway with the government to get the Conservatives to shift gear on an "issue-by-issue" basis, just as the party did to get concessions with the former minority Liberal government, NDP Leader Jack Layton told CBC News on Monday.

But it's unlikely the party would be a political ally for a Tory agenda, Layton said.

Interesting to note that the NDP have significant influence in the direction of the House, government actions, etc.

Also, I think the issue-by-issue idea is fair enough....we shall see if the environment causes a quick loggerhead on things, however.

Cheers.
