So you're in favour of allowing a small minority group to control the policy/direction of government for the majority of people in the province, rather than allowing the interest of the majority of people to win out. That's the same position that hard right wingers have, in giving up their power to the 1%. As previously noted, a small group of far right nutters "checking" the GOP in the states led to the current situation down south.
A "check" is one thing. Dictating terms and refusing to compromise, as a tiny minority group, is another. If the greens pull that crap, I wouldn't fault the NDP for calling an early election.
The only solution is proportional representation.
That's a step in the right direction, but I think people should also consider banning political parties and force these adults to work together as proper representatives from their ridings. Far too often do MLA's, MP's vote along party lines for various reasons (often against the best interests of their own supposed represented constituents). Or even put a cap on how big a party can be. It's actually strange how we keep voting in career politicians rather than the best and brightest fit for the job. Money in politics in general needs to be reformed.
The NDP only won 44% of the vote, that’s not a majority.
