Canada now has a legislated set date for federal elections. However, Prime Minister Steven Harper is ready to pull the plug on the present legislation in advance of the set date. His reason: the opposition parties make it impossible to govern.
Interestingly, the Prime Minister believes that the results of a new election will again produce a minority government.
My question is this: why go into an expensive election process that will produce the same results? Does that make sense to anyone?
Proposed solution: get the Governor General to request an opposition party (i.e. the Liberals) to form a minority government and see if they could govern. If they fail the option of a new election will still be available.
