In response to "Reagen...Goofed and left it on B3...If you're giving a three month window, I'll take the odds on an election." by Name Withheld By Request

oh, I won't take that. I just don't think there'll be one dropped next week.

I don't see how a coalition can be refused just because of the involvement of the Bloc, as unpalatable as that may be.

Responses:

I've been reading and the arguments tend to be two-fold... - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:08 5
- #2 gets the GG explicitly involved in the politics of the country, which seems like much more of a non-starter to me. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 11:12 4
  - That's the role though. The same way that the coalition is a part of the process, the GG "looking out for national interests" does as well. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:14 3
    - I think they're dreaming if they think they can get 2 1/2 years, or even 1 out of this, but they have to be given the shot. - Reagen Dec 1, 11:16 2
      - That's the point though...They don't. There's no historical precidence for the #2 and #3 to be accepted. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 1, 11:21 1
        
        Hmm? Sure there is. That's what precipitated King-Byng. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 11:27
