    Political parties are themselves coalitions. Does PP really think that everyone voting C has the same goals and vision?

    Provinces have been doing democratic coalition governments as long as Canada has existed.

    In fact, NOT working together, like the Conservatives want, is what isn’t democratic.

    Of course, I’m talking social democracy here, not the American “two wolves and a sheep vote on dinner” model.

      The federal Conservatives are very explicitly a coalition, being formed when the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance merged in 2003.

      One of the questions asked elsewhere in this topic is whether a failure in the next election will cause that to splinter again. I can’t even begin to speculate if that’s possible, but I can imagine at least some people are thinking about it.
