Ritz start talking to the ones who got you elected'

Mulcair has a snowball's chance in hell of forming a minority. It was the orange crush that got the NDP the number of seats that they did. Mulcair won't repeat that performance.

The Libs will improve their showing. As will the Green Party.

If the Lib/NDP parties formed a coalition they could likely form government, but they have specifically stated they won't consider that. Doubt Trudeau and Mulcair could work together on the same side.

But they do say politics makes strange bedfellows.

Libs, NDP and Greens better all get together like Cons and Reform did. Then we can have a copy of the US 2 party system of right or left. Then just keep switching the parties hoping for a change/improvement endlessly only to be forever disappointed. What a god dam insane "party" system.

93 or 94 seats in western Canada, out of 308, 94 if NWT included. Enough to provide someone with a majority if they agree to cooperate. Wups, new electoral districts in effect next election, 15 more Ontario, 6 each Alberta and BC and 3more Quebec, total now 338. 94 plus 12 = 106 in western Canada total 338, 31.3%. Ontario will have 121.
West could be the balance of power, but need to stick together.

What really is the benefit of new political faces especially mps that all only want to survive long enough for the ridiculous pensions. Just to sit there and put there hand up when party leaders tell them to. If the new ones are ou going to follow and not have a brain we may as well make a rule you get no pension until after 5 terms. Let the idiots sit there and wear out their arms. But then they d likely hi on disability. Lol

I heard that in the cost cutting they will legislate out politicians pension. Maybe then they will stay focussed on the job they were elected to do.
