A Conservative MP is giving up his seat to allow Pierre Poilievre to run in a byelection after Prime Minister Mark Carney said he’d be ready to call one 'as soon as possible.'
Political parties should just standby the morals and principles they try to uphold.
If they align together, great they can both vote yes. If they don’t then they don’t. Pandering to other parties to get their vote just gets in the way of what you are actually trying to achieve.

I can’t really answer your question, as I’m don’t have that strong an understanding of how Governments work.
I can say that minority governments are meant to be less successful by design. It’s meant to sort of limit the damage that can be done without majority confidence from the electorate.
To form an alliance you mean? The Bloc Quebecois already said they’ll be quiet for the next year as there’s lots to do, having two parties to work with means you don’t necessarily need to always bend the same way so it’s advantageous to leave the door open to sometimes compromise left and sometimes compromise in favour of what Quebec wants…
He probably will but it will be on an issue by issue basis. Carney only needs three votes from any of the Bloc Québécois or the NDP to pass anything. He can pull from either party.

And do you think that’s conclusive to a well functioning government?
To me that just leads to corruption, incentivizing self severing interest.
