      From: brewnoser2@gmail.com                      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%).              Read more at: http://poll.forumresearch.com/post/2408/one-quarte       -thinks-party-with-most-seats-governs/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
