Well it is all done for another 4 years - although with a minority government who knows what will happen.
The best case scenario is for the Liberals and the NDP to agree on some basic facts and plans and then to make a commitment to work together as long as those goals last. It has been done before. The two parties are not that far apart.
As a commentator said last night - 53 seats is sort of a majority - if the speaker comes from the opposition - he/she "has" to vote for the government if the vote is a tie. It is one of those weird traditions that make little sense.
The scary thing is how close some of the contests were.... we could have had a Conservative government. We need to be more active, more vigilant, more aware of what is happening in that never never land of politics. The nightmares might just come true one day.
