And that's worth a PP government? IMO he's lost the plot if that's his entire line of thinking.
I'm torn on this.
On the one hand, I agree that a PP government is a terrible thing.
On the other hand, it's hardly the NDP's job to prop up another political party.
You want a two-party system, then. That's pretty much the only way for parties to never work strategically.
Well, no.
I want a system that's actually designed to support multiple parties. Westminster ain't it.
Former British colonies are still suffering from the effects of first-past-the-post.
Somebody's always propping up another party if you're Germany or Norway or Spain, though, or you don't have a government. That's what I mean. We have something like 2.5 parties, so we're not used to it, but it's how it's "supposed" to work.
There's no formal coalition agreement, and I don't see Trudeau scrambling to offer cabinet posts to NDP MPs.
The less formal arrangement they had lasted a pretty long time, all things considered.
But Singh doesn't owe him anything.
