CANADIEN Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 possible but the liberals have more in common with the ndp than the conservatives on policy...if iggy is on his way out why not stick it to the conservatives with a coalition (I would) he won't be around afterward so what does he care, he'll end up with a nice cabinet post in the coalition and he'll probably qualify for a mp pension... Better for the Liberals not to be part of any formal coaltion. That way, if the party in power does badly, they don't sink with it. Quote
Evening Star Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 possible but the liberals have more in common with the ndp than the conservatives on policy... Based on their campaign platform, yes. Based on their track record in the Commons, I'm not as sure... Quote
Evening Star Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 That said, I would prefer an NDP-Lib coalition to an NDP government. There is a little more experience in the Liberal front bench that would be of value when it comes to governing. Quote
wyly Posted April 30, 2011 Report Posted April 30, 2011 Better for the Liberals not to be part of any formal coaltion. That way, if the party in power does badly, they don't sink with it. well the liberal supporters appear to have made that decision for them, the voters aren't waiting for the liberal party to make a choice...

Moonbox Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 yup I heard the same from a journalist who spoke with some conservative insiders, they put on a brave confident show but they're very worried, without a majority it's going to be PM Jack...and ya the conservatives would prefer to have the election sooner than later because everyday the ndp keeps sucking in more liberal votes, were this campaign to go to May 7th we might be looking at a ndp majority... Oh I can't wait for tomorrow to see you eat crow. Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he is for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous
