Why I don't get is why people (in general, I've heard this a lot from various sources, so it's not directed at you) assume that an NDP-Liberal coalition government is going to do any worse of a job of running the country than the Conservatives have been doing lately. Since, by definition, they have to work together to achieve consensus, etc., maybe we'll get some better decisions? I guess people assume that coalition = unstable, which is fair enough I guess, but who knows, it could work well - for a change.
