46th Canadian Federal Election

[UtakataNoAnnex]

Who exactly would benefit from the NDP merging with the Libs? Let's not move closer to being a two party state.

I'm pretty sure the BQ being still around that this country would unlikely fall into a two party state. And for what that's worth...

...that said, I doubt that the NDP would merge with the Liberals. It would solve a lot of vote splitting if they did...but I don't think that's going to happen. They should consider however a coalition with the LPC to bring stability in our government for a long time as our country is under arse holed induced economic stress that's now the new norm. Plus something that will likely help them rebuild their party for the long term.

And no, I did not light up a spliff while posting all that...

NDP to vote against throne speech, forcing Liberals to find support elsewhere​

---

Considered a confidence vote, Conservatives and Bloc have yet to say what they'll do​

A potential curve-ball thrown… May we be needing this thread sooner than anticipated?

The conservatives likely won't force an election as it is not in their best interest.

They already give the impression they are solely focused one issue (Liberals Bad/Conservative Good) and forcing an election now would require them to have a reason.

What I'm more surprised about is the NDP taking this risk without a functional leader.
