but never got around to posting it. But the gist of it was about coalitions should no one get a majority. I'm increasingly convinced that, should they be invited to form a government, the Liberals are more likely to join with the Conservatives than with the NDP. That way, Trudeau can present himself as the more reasonable and likable leader of the two parties. Can't do that if he teams with Mulcair.
