An amusing thought
Currently we have 4 major parties, three of whom (the CPC, the NPD and the Bloc)
have never been able to form national governments on their own thus far in their history. At least one of them is mathematically incapable of forming a national government, because it only runs candidates in Quebec.
What if the Liberals join this august group? What if for the next twenty years or so all we get is a succession of minority governments?
I suppose the most efficient way to achieve is for the Liberals to suffer a split not entirely unlike the one that divided the PCs post-Mulroney.
