So the dust settles, and we have a minority liberal government
Liberals - 135
Conservative - 99
Bloc - 54
NDP - 19
This gives a Liberal / NDP alliance - 154 votes
What do you, brave TFP members, believe to be the ramafications of this vote? Will "The House" continue normal operations, status quo? Will the new govenment be able to post a budget? Or are we looking at a lame duck?

I believe there is an independant also elected, who if he sides with the Libs and NDP gives them 155, a tiny majority.
At any rate, I don't think you'll see any firm alliances - the Libs will work with the NDP and Conservatives (less so the Bloc I think) to get through the next 18-24 months at which point we'll have another election.
