📊Multiple polls confirm dramatic shift in momentum, as Liberals close in on Conservatives.
🚨338 Sunday Update: The Liberal Surge Continues → https://www.338canada.ca/p/338-sunday-update-the-liberal-surge
I’m just wondering if we are going to see a conservative minority and then talks of a left collation. The last time they talked about it the conservatives squealed and squealed about it being undemocratic as if a collation doesn’t happen in a crap load of other countries.
If it did happen we would definitely be closer to reaching our Fptp final form.
The federal Conservatives are very explicitly a coalition, being formed when the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance merged in 2003.
One of the questions asked elsewhere in this topic is whether a failure in the next election will cause that to splinter again. I can’t even begin to speculate if that’s possible, but I can imagine at least some people are thinking about it.
My expectation is that if CPC wins a plurality (most seats) but not a majority (more than half the seats) they’ll be unable to form government (barring the PPC having the necessary seats to reach majority).
We might see some piece of shit LPC folks splinter to be king makers but it’s highly unlikely that the CPC can offer anything good enough to BQ, NDP or GPC to form a coalition.

Political parties are themselves coalitions. Does PP really think that everyone voting C has the same goals and vision?
Provinces have been doing democratic coalition governments as long as Canada has existed.
In fact, NOT working together, like the Conservatives want, is what isn’t democratic.
Of course, I’m talking social democracy here, not the American “two wolves and a sheep vote on dinner” model.
