I am solidly behind the effort of the NDP and the Liberals to cobble together a coalition government… it certainly made the Conservatives sit up and take notice! They have reversed their position on hobbling the other parties through the removal of subsidies. Yay! Maybe the Greens will live to fight another day.
And just maybe the Conservatives will get off their ideological hobby horse and come up with some real stimulus ideas for the economy.
In the event that the NDP and Liberals do put together a coalition government, I would nominate Ed Broadbent to act as the interim PM… but he’d have to have a seat to do that, wouldn’t he? Well, then, failing that, what about giving it to one of the two independents? No? Then who? And that will be the toughest challenge facing the creation of a coalition government…
