There average lifespan of any minority government has been 18 months.
I also think, in the case of this particular government, the numbers are not all that cut and dry. In order to stay in power the conservatives will have to work to keep, pretty much everyone happy. Harper is going to have to make many compromises.
This is going to make many of his constituents unhappy. The opposition parties will play to this.
In the end, it's a wait and see kind of thing. Time will tell if Harper has what it takes to steer this parliament.
