In summary: I don't understand how the NDP can be happy with this, given that they lost seats and the Liberals gained seats. This coalition government of the Liberals and the NDP will have a lot of power, but they don't have a majority, and the separatists will have a lot of power, too.It's not clear to me what the Conservatives are trying to accomplish, other than clinging to power.On the one hand, they could have let the NDP and the Liberals fight it out, and the Conservatives would have won because they would have had the most seats.On the other hand, they could have formed a coalition with the Bloc Quebecois, and that would have been a minority government,

Anyone else think that putting Ignatieff in charge of the Liberals is going to help any of this?
