Interesting.
Remember the provincial election back in October, and the month-long fight leading up to that about whether or not proportional representation would be a good idea for the provincial legislature.
Many people who didn't like the idea of changing our system said it would lead to minority governments and nothing would get done.
Yet, when polled recently, people across the country said they'd like to keep a minority government in Ottawa.
From the Star's article: "The Canadian Press Harris/Decima survey asked respondents to choose the kind of split they'd ideally like to see in a hypothetical Parliament of 100 seats. The results, on average, gave 36 seats to the Liberals, 31 to the Conservatives, 15 to the NDP, 10 to the Bloc Québécois and eight to the Green party."
As a reporter, I'd rather have minority governments because that means there are more elections, and I enjoy elections. As a citizen, however, I'd rather have the stability of a majority government, though only if it's in favour of my party of my choice.
