I listened to the English debate and read the coverage of the French debate. I have to say, if Ignatieff wanted to win this he needed to give a reason to vote for him rather than reasons to not vote for Harper. He didn't do that.
For me, the ideal situation would be for the Liberals and the NDP to win a majority of seats and form a coalition that wouldn't require the support of the Bloc. I don't think the NDP can pull enough votes to make that happen.
I really don't get why Canadians have an issue with coalitions. You'd think that with the Aussies and the Brits running along with their own coalitions, not to mention the fact that Canada has been governed successfully by coalitions in the past, that we could get over this fear and just let it happen.
