    We should have an election then, let the electorate decide who it should be. Deciding to just join another party on a whim to give them a majority clearly just leads to further divide in the long run.

    Given Carney is currently high in the polls he should just call an election, and ask the people for a full mandate, rather than this cloak and dagger nonsense.

      Eh… There was like a 5% vote difference in Edmonton Riverbend, with an almost exact 50/50 left-right vote split.

      In a sane electoral system, like STV, the area would have something like 2 Liberal MPs, 0-1 NDP MPs, and 2-3 Con MPs.

      This isn’t a great shift against local political preferences.
