If coalitions were not permitted just because there is a sovereigntist party in Parliament, elected by the people not always for sovereigntist reasons, then we'd have to call an election every few months or, alternatively, have Parliament in constant election mode as is the case now.
Again...

Do you fully think out what you write before you write it?

SWo do we prohibit coalition governments?

You keep telling me I don't think, but then are unable to explain or give examples. So I can only conclude you just plain oppose coalition governments.

So when there is no majority party in the House, how do you propose we solve it?

When there is no clear case for one, yes.

I applied the question to the appropriate posts. I'm not your mom, I won't be holding your hand while you grow.

You conclude wrongly.

What is there to solve?

I don't particularly care because I don't think it matters what happens in Ottawa. Whatever comes about, very little will change and pols will do pretty much whatever they wish regardless of what's good for Canada and Canadians. It's always been this way and will be this way for the foreseeable future.We have a plutarchy in Canada.(Plutarchy = a combo of oligarchy and plutocracy)
