As important as the question regarding whether the Liberal Party and NDP would consider being part of a coalition government is whether the Conservative Party would.
Why are virtually all media, journalists, other writers and democratic reformers ignoring this?
Just because Canadians won't vote in enough MPs to give a single party a majority is no reason why Canada must be stuck with perpetual minorities.
Coalition governments are majority governments.
If the Liberals and Conservatives want a majority government all they need do is be honest with Canadians and negotiate with the third- and/or fourth-place parties after an election.
Unfortunately, given the political environment Canada's party leaders have created, in collusion with most media, honesty and negotiation are unlikely democratic tools to be removed from their toolboxes. Indeed, those tools must be rusty from disuse.
