Andrew Coyne: A minority government looks possible in 2015

[blackram]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got ourselves a horse race. After a year and a half in which the Liberals led in the national polls by six to 10 points, the gap has narrowed appreciably in recent weeks. As of last month, an average of polls compiled by threehundredeight.com put the Grits ahead of the governing Conservatives by just three points, 35-32. The latest Ekos poll has them closer still, just a point apart: effectively, a tie.

I don't really care if it's getting closer for the Conservatives, but I want these fundamentalists out of office no matter what, minority or majority, just as long as it isn't Conservative again. We knew that they'd try to do their social engineering when they first got into power with a minority in 2006, and once they got their majority in 2011, it was open season for them. Medieval prostitution laws are just the tip of the iceberg.
