I guess it's PP time...
Yeah, WTF is he thinking? At least wait until October after we've had a chance to put out the Trump fire a bit.
Hopefully it's a bluff to get Trudeau to resign, but that's not really the typical NDP MO.
For better or worse, he's probably reached the point where he thinks they need to cut all remaining ties to the Liberals, and not be seen as propping them up, formally or otherwise.
And that's worth a PP government? IMO he's lost the plot if that's his entire line of thinking.
I'm torn on this.
On the one hand, I agree that a PP government is a terrible thing.
On the other hand, it's hardly the NDP's job to prop up another political party.
You want a two-party system, then. That's pretty much the only way for parties to never work strategically.
Well, no.
I want a system that's actually designed to support multiple parties. Westminster ain't it.
Somebody's always propping up another party if you're Germany or Norway or Spain, though, or you don't have a government. That's what I mean. We have something like 2.5 parties, so we're not used to it, but it's how it's "supposed" to work.
There's no formal coalition agreement, and I don't see Trudeau scrambling to offer cabinet posts to NDP MPs.
The less formal arrangement they had lasted a pretty long time, all things considered.
But Singh doesn't owe him anything.
Former British colonies are still suffering from the effects of first-past-the-post.
With the Conservatives 20 points ahead in polls, it's definitely for worse.
Could it be thay he hopes the conservatives will take the fall for Trump's chaos and be out of power quicker? Thats the only other angle Im seeing here.
"The Bloc will let me do some performative grand standing. I hope."
I hope so too but it doesn't really seem like a smart move since it'd make their threats seem empty (though actually going through with this isn't smart either...)
Well, memories tend to be short in politics, and even then it's only credibility-damaging if it gets called. If it was the conservatives I'd pretty much just assume it's a bluff.
