Jagmeet Singh’s only hope for power is if Mark gets a minority and Jagmeet props him up.

FINE by me!!

A working minority government IS democracy.

A majority government is no different than the US electing A dictator.

Dictators are ‘decisive’, yes. But a minority MUST find a consensus between at least 2/3 of the parties to move forward.

Hmmm…. Now, which one sounds like democracy?

I ask you.

There’s a couple things wrong with what you said there.

A majority government is a majority government and not a dictatorship.

There are more then three parties.

Might as well be when the other parties have to power to change anything.

In Québec the CAQ is incredibly unpopular and are making incredibly unpopular decisions. But no one can stop them short of a general strike.

It is literally not a dictatorship even if you don’t like them.

No of course not. At least we can vote them out eventually.
