The NDP still hold the balance of power because if they unite with the CPC and only the CPC the Liberals will be forced to unite with the Bloc to make any non confidence vote work and in doing so shoot themselves in the foot.

Unless of course they plan on winning the next election with only Quebec and Ontario support assuming Ontario were opposed enough to the issue which was used to bring down the government and be damned with the rest of the country.

The reality is that this parliament is a
308 - 51 =257
1/2 of which is 128 seats to make a majority government not 155 like the MSM touts.

CPC 124 + NDP 29 = 153

Lib 103 + BLOC 51 = 154

Throw in the 1 independant from *QUEBEC* for good measure.

The Liberals will need to align themselves with a party (BLOC) who is bent on destroying this country as we know it to make this government fall if they know what is good for them they won't go down that road.

I predict a full 4 year term for this minority government Forgoing some really really idiotic moves by Prime Minister Harper. The really really contentious issues are going to be those with the interests of Quebec and Ontario at their core.
