It's very likely that the Liberals will have to work with the NDP to form government. Isn't it a no brainer for the NDP to make electoral reform a deal breaking issue?

Lack of proportional representation is what has led to their laughable 7 seats.

The liberals will find working with the bloc a lot harder than the NDP, so electoral reform seems like an acceptable deal from their end too, right?

Should we be excited for this?

I'm fine with this. I like minority governments being forced to cooperate, as long as it's not right wing controlled.

Indeed, that's the friggin job!

Whatever any of us feel about Trudeau (Jr) he ran two successful (as in close to full-term) minority parliments by being able to compromise and work with other parties.

Could anyone see PP compromising? Attack dogs don't have a "cooperate with others" mode.

So let's hope the children can all now go get along...

and fix some problems!
