Probably won’t win, but Liberals probably won’t either. Hopefully Liberals agree to the terms.

We can all hope for continued minority governments. Canada loses whenever a single party wins a majority.

Couldn’t agree more.

One of the reasons I’d like to see election reform is so that we never have a majority again. Would be nice to see some cooperation instead of unilateral decision making because someone got 51% support.

If only it were 51%

Man if only we had a proportional system…

Yeah, as much as I support the current government, I’m still butthurt about that whole u-turn. Like, highly proportional places have issues too, but we’d have a blank slate to try and address those issues, and it’s unlikely we’re going to become the Netherlands until a decade or two has passed to get there.
