General Politics Discussion

Well, that would imply that things were not awful under a DoFo minority government, so I could live with that.  What it could do is change the dynamic if things WERE dreadful under a DoFo minority.

My point is more though that minority governments are pretty good at keeping their "worst" policies to themselves until they get the majority. The actions of a minority government are generally much more moderate/popular than the actions of a majority government, but voters see the actions of the minority government and believe its an accurate representation of what will happen with a majority.

Hopefully that made sense.

Personally, I don't see any satisfactory outcomes, just possibilities that might be less bad than others.   I'm still seriously considering whether to decline my ballot on election day (my riding, Ottawa-Vanier, will go Liberal).

I'm with you. I didn't vote Liberal last time and I'm not going to this time either. Will probably vote Green again, not that I agree with them on everything but they at least have a number of policies that I strongly support (one school board!) and probably best reflect my opinion of the existing parties.
