#1 A modern day coup. The conservatives gained even more seats in last month's election, but the lefties are hell-bent on stealing the government. They're so desperate that they will ally themselves with a separatist party and install a PM who resigned from party leadership just a few weeks ago, after his dismal election loss.

#4 This has the potential to be a HUGE constitutional crisis. There are lots of people who are not pleased with the prospect of a "Separatist" party holding a veto over any government action. Almost as many as those who are displeased with this coup.

Much anger and ugly actions forthcoming from the Great White North.

#6 I find it hard to imagine such a coalition will last long. I remember when the a coalition removed the Conservatives in Germany. The greens wanted to enact all of their mad schemes and the Social Democrats had to explain the way the real world works and how they would be tarred and feathered and lose power if they followed the Green agenda. Of course today it would be different.
