Accidental Deliberations: Ready to govern
... the NDP is the most dynamic party in Canada. In three elections under
Jack Layton, the party has increased its popular vote and seat count in
the Commons. The Tories have flatlined; the Grits have slid; even the
Bloc has slipped.
And the NDP is dead serious about coalitions.
Layton has on his desk a thick binder of successful and failed
coalitions worldwide, including the local example of the Peterson-Rae
coalition that governed Ontario well in 1985-87.
Layton drew on
those examples in his failed bid to win over the Grits in a coalition
that would have toppled the Tories two years ago. His eminence gris,
Brian Topp, wrote a book about it. Read it if you have any doubts the
current NDP caucus is ready to co-govern this country.
