Personally as some of you may know I'm an NDP supporter who likes a few of the PC's populist platforms on democratic reform... thats about it.
Both the Layton and Harper have said they would work with any party (somewhat). What do you guys think of a possible Tory-NDP alliance. Is it possible? Would the Tory's ally with the Liberals first to form a national unity government in the likely hood of none of the parties getting enough seats to govern and there's no clear winner.
I'd like to think the NDP and Tory's could work together on many electoral reforms and perhaps some minor issues. I'm not sure if this would work but if you look at Germany the Conservatives and Social Democrats pretty much formed a government there together. The Social Democrats could have held government without them if they had gone with the Green party (there normal ally) and the Left party (former communists and the former hard left of the SDP) which would have been closer to there idea's then the Conservatives. But they chose the Cons because of the Left Parties history. Could the Tory's and the NDP do the same?
Personally, Not sure how long this would last if it happend. Perhaps a year, or until Harper tried to pass far right economic and social policy. BUT what could also happen is the NDP could bring the Con's closer to the PC side of the party. Alot of different things could happen.
Or is this just an idea for the Twilight zone? lol
