Minority governments are unstable, unpredictable, and result from very close-call elections. They may be okay-ish at getting progressive domestic policies passed, but the priority should be strong foreign policy for the near term. A majority is at least stable and consistent.
I’m a Canadian-US dual citizen - the US can only exist in two forms: supermajority and dysfunction. Trump is an outcome of this binary choice because either someone can do everything they want or nothing - majority governments are a terrible outcome because the divisions of us, the populace, get subsumed by the party platform and policies that may represent just over a quarter of the population can get forced through.
When you have a minority government you need to give and take and policies end up better aligned to the public will - including priorities that the plurality party may not focus on (like the NDP’s new dental plan).
Everyone except the CPC is united in rejecting American expansionism. If we have a minority government there will be no hesitation when it comes to telling Americans to fuck off.
Please fucking no - majority governments suck.
Compromise is a necessary part of the political process.
There is no compromise with MAGA. The conservatives need to purge that element of their party.
A minority government composed of LPC and NDP or BQ.
The LPC shouldn’t have unilateral control but should be required to sell their policies to the other policies.
Yes, I agree minority governments are the most productive.
Yes, but unfortunately we have a system that only produces minorities when you’re very close to the other guy getting a majority.
