Re: Election - Place yer bets.

Looks like a "hung parliament" heading your way ... we prefer the term "minority government" .... Canadians are quite content with having a minority government ... as it looks like you guys may be getting one, maybe it's time to look at the advantages ... our system of government is very similar to yours, and we don't seem to see the necessity to have one party so dominant that it does what the hell it wants for four or five years. Having a powerful opposition does tend to keep the government honest ... well, at least as honest as is possible when you are talking politicians. It would be nice to see Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition and the folks they represent as being more than a cipher.
