So, I was just thinking yesterday about this 'seismic shift' in the political landscape and what it will mean for us as Canadians. Now, while there is the legitimate fear of a dominating conservative government, we have to keep in mind that they will be under heavy scrutiny by the media. By having the NDP as the official opposition, you can pretty much guarantee that Jack will be barking loud and clear and journalists will be lapping it up.
This seems to be a decent mix for the country right now. What we will begin to notice is that there is some fiscal policy that does not hinder changes in social policy. In other words, the conservatives can become even more socially progressive to meet the needs of all Canadians, without tampering with fiscal conservatism.
If this comes to true, then I can also guarantee that the conservative government will put itself in an excellent position to get another majority moving forward. But in order to invest in their future, they need to adapt to at least meet some of the needs of the left - and having a strong voice in Jack as our bulldog will help to push that message forward in the press. Again, this is great, because it kind of forces a level of co-operation in order to have our country prosper.
If conservatives are defiant and completely unwilling to co-operate, that will be their undoing come the next election. But if they can make some compromises (or even better for them: collaborate) with the NDP, then we could really be looking at a bright future for our country.
This could work?
