ALL CANADA DUers: Would the NDP form a Coalition government....

[PROGRESSIVE1]

with the Liberals to keep the Conservatives out of power?

[Swede]

1. Man this is vote a Liberal time.

We saw the right overthrough progressives in the USA. You area dreaming in technicolor if you can't see Harper's right wing agend.

2. Are Canada's elections first past the post or proportional representation?

[Swede]

3. Liberals are ahead in the polls but will loste the election

Because of the riding breakdown. Canada will become BUsh's bitch.

4. I hope not (that the liberals lose)

It's unfortunate, but the US economy does drive many world economies to a large degree.

When we swing hard-right, it causes other countries to pull to the right as as well.

5. Please elaborate

Thanks to the crappy US media, I know almost nothing about the Canadian electoral system. :shrug:

[Swede]

6. Canada will follow our USA brothers.

Even into an inferno. I have no doubt of that. Canada is a free democracy,united to western EUrope and the Usa,we live and die together. Right now your leaders are leading us to war.

[CHIMO]

7. I Think

That it might mean that as a percentage of the the votes the Liberals are ahead by some polls but that the number of seats that they win will be less than the conservatives. The election is too close to call with much certainty. It is first past the post for each riding (seat).
Please find attached a site that might explain the workings in more detail. There are also additional sites at the bottom that I have not looked at.
