   Wow.  That's the projection being made - and it may be the unintended, but   
   very welcome breakthrough for Canada to start using coalition governments -   
   like Europe has done for generations.   
      
   This is how the support for coalitions breaks down:   
   ___________________________________   
      
   Majority support NDP-Liberal coalition if Conservative minority   
      
   One quarter thinks party with most seats governs   
      
   TORONTO October 7th, 2015 - In a random sampling of public opinion taken by   
   the Forum Poll(tm) among 1447 Canadian voters, close to 6-in-10 see it as   
   appropriate for two or more parties to form a coalition in the event of a   
   minority government (58%),  . .   
    . .   
   and just fewer will specifically support a Liberal-NDP coalition in the event   
   of a Conservative minority (52%).   
      
   In terms of general approval of coalitions, Liberals (68%) and, especially,   
   New Democrats (81%) have a much more favourable view than Conservatives (28%),   
   the party no one will form a coalition with.     
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
      
   When it comes to a specific Liberal-NDP coalition, partisans of the two   
   prospective partners are even more enthusiastic (72% and 83%, respectively).   
      
      
   [Only]  One quarter supports party with most seats to govern   
      
   As many as a quarter of voters will support the party which wins the most   
   seats in a minority as the government (26%), and this view is especially   
   common to Conservatives (52%), but not to New Democrats (14%) or Liberals   
   (18%), while the   
                                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^   
   plurality, one third, will support a coalition (32% - in total, 9% among   
   Conservatives, 38% among Liberals and 51% among New Democrats).   
      
   The customary correct answer, whomever has the confidence of the house, is the   
   choice of one seventh (15%), and this is most common to Liberal voters (20%).   
   Close to one fifth don't know which arrangement they would support in a   
   minority (17%).
