A lot of commentary on here about the fears or evils of coalition governments and yet it is the FPTP that resulted in our current Provincial coalition and two of the last 4 federal governments in a minority situation, which essentially requires coalition governance. I wonder if most folks actually know what they want vs simply being inherently fearful of change?
I’d also argue that the last two minority federal governments did a pretty good job of balancing the needs of the country and governing responsibly while Harpers majority was far too anti-environment/pro-development for about half the population and now Trudeau’s majority is far too socially liberal for the other half. As one of the common themes in this thread is lack of trust of governments and politicians, don’t we want them to be forced to keep each other somewhat honest?
Cheers!

Ps - damn hard typing with trick or treaters at the door every few minutes! LOL
I like minority governments, will we get them under a PR system or will we get coalitions?
