Just one little discrepancy.
The Governor General owns the decision on whether to accept the coalition or, at the recommendation of the Prime Minister, announce an election.
Regardless of the Main Stream Media rhetoric and given that one of the parties is actually a separatist group, it is highly unlikely that she will accept the coalition. Well, maybe 50/50.
As for no-one paying too much attention... Are you still out west?
Folks are fuming here.
