What we are really most likely heading for, this week anyway is a lame-ass Conservative minority, which would be scary if they could actually do anything that they would like to.   Which they won't.

Or alternatively a lame-ass Liberal minority which will have to cooperate with the NDP to pass any legislation. Best possible outcome.

The good thing about a Conservative win is that there won't be ANY other party likely to cooperate with them. If, as widely speculated their most likely "ally" is the Bloc Quebecois, which of course is completely diametrically opposed to them on everything except wanting more devolution of power to the provinces, they don't have a prayer.

I'm working for the NDP, in an Ontario riding which will almost certainly re-elect a Conservative (former Alliance) member. Just feels right to me.
