Why Not a Coalition Government?
Michael Ignatieff will need the support of the opposition parties this month to defeat the Conservative government. If he wins a minority government victory after a fall election, he will still need their support to stay in power. Why not save us all a lot of money and headache? He could defeat the Conservatives, then ask the governor general for permission to form a coalition government with the NDP and the Bloc. Otherwise, he takes the risk that disgruntled Canadians may elect a Conservative majority (heaven forbid!). Otherwise, it appears he’s more interested in regaining power for his party than in making government work.
