in Canada. That being said I love the NDP and have voted for them many times. I think the coalition talk is right wing US meme because they don't want NDP and greens fliocking to the Liberals to block a conservative win like often happens at the last moment. Just a bit of US rat****ing in a Canadian election. If Conservatives win the most seat but a minority, and if the NDP and liberals together will have a majority, the Conservatives will still be named the Government.
