Machjo Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) If you could not get a majority Government, what would you consider to be your ideal coalition? As for myself, I would be leaning towards a Conservative-Libertarian government. I find the Libertarian Party to be too capitalist and the Conservative Party not enough. I also like the Libertarian Party's emphasis on civil liberties which would counterbalance Conservative xenophobia and excessive suppression of freedom in the fight against terrorism. A Libertarian-NDP or Libertarian-Green coalition might be my second-preferred choice due to the NDP's position on the debt and the Green Party's tendency towards user-pay taxation.

Machjo Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 A Libertarian-Bloc coalition would have good points of its own, especall with regard to decentralization to the provinces and replacing Federal official bilingualism nationwide with Federal official monolingualism at the provincial level.

Machjo Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 A Conservative-Bloc coalition would actually concern me. They both present some good ideas, but they are also possibly the two most xenophobic parties in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Christian Heritage - Libertarian would be my ideal, but in all seriousness, any coalition would have to be among parties that actually have seats. So, with that in mind, why not Conservative - BQ and bring back the Mulroney era big tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machjo Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 They are also possibly the two most authoritarian parties too in wanting to dictate how people dress, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machjo Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Other than the Niqab issue...how are the Conservatives xenophobic? Harper treated Ignatief like a traitor for having worked abroad. He has treated Mulcair in the same way for having dual citizenship. He wants to set up a ridiculous barbaric practices tip line as if 911 doesn't suffice. Now he's comparing banning the niqab across the public service. What's next?

Machjo Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Among parties with seats in the house, maybe a Conservative-Liberal, Conservative-Green, or Conservative-NDP coalition, otherwise a Bloc-Green, Bloc-Liberal, or Bloc-NDP coalition.

Now he's comparing banning the niqab across the public service. What's next? As I said, Harper's taking the Niqab thing too far. Then again I'm sure he realizes that the CPC vote is locked anyways. (I've voted already), so he probably wants to grab Quebec votes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machjo Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 My case might be a bit of an odd one. I'll probably be voting for my local NDP candidate because she has some good ideas to present to Parliament, but still hope the Minister of Finance will be conservative-leaning.

Wasn't it just seven years ago that the Tories were insisting anyone who entered a coalition with separatists was committing a political sin, even if the separatists' support was limited to confidence and supply?

ToadBrother Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Marxist-Leninist and Communist Party coalition We know how that goes! The Bolshies will accuse the Menshies of ideological impurity and secret bourgeois capitalist leanings, and then the Trotskyites will, from the relative safety of Mexico, attack the Bolshies!
