I'm sure most of the readers at ATS are American. As a Canadian, I am quite eager to solicit opinions from the great knowledge base at ATS about this
RADICAL turn of political events.
Many Canadians are absolutely shocked by this; some in a postive way, while others are viewing this as a behind the scenes political coup.
Personally, I feel that if a coalition government were to form within the next week, then democratic representation has truly taken place. The reason
I say this, is because of the fact that with the other three parties teaming together, then over sixty percent of the population has representation in
the government, compared to under forty percent with the current minority government.
Either way, this is incredibly exciting to watch. It's not very often that Canadian politics drops an 'earthshaker' in the news like this. Therefore
I am interested to see opinions. Is THIS constitutional democracy at work, or does THIS fly in the face of democracy?
