I'm still hoping for an NDP/Bloc coalition. Among other things, it would get the knickers of various people in Washington into a severe knot.

That's my hope too, or at least a "realistic hope."

Ideally, the the election results get contested again and again, until everyone gets fed up and form their worker-based government. Of course, this forces the Liberal, Conservative, and some portions of the NDP and Bloc to unite against this new government, starting the Canadian Civil War.

Start organising International Brigades, anyone?

I say that, through some huge joke gone wrong, the Marxist-Leninist Party will end up winning 257 seats, a clear majority, which would allow them to form the next government. Statues of Canadian communists, lie Fred Rose, will begin to appear everywhere. Then the statues of foreign communists will start to pop up here and there. A statue of Lenin at Harbour Front Centre, a bust of Karl Marx at the Olympic Stadium, a plaque dedicated to the memory of Stalin in Regina, etc.

Next thing you know, we'll get into an ideological fight dispute with China, who will have rediscovered the wonders of Maoism. This will lead to maritime border disputes, as Canada will have annxed South Korea, royally pissing off Kim Il Jong in the process. The folks in the Kremlin will look on all of this with envy, get nostalgic, rebuild the Berlin wall and put Gorbachev back in power. It'll be as if nothing ever changed. The Americans will then decide to bring Reagan's mummified body back to life to send him to Germany so he can tell Mr. Gorbachev to tear down the wall.

Meanwhile, China says "fuck it" and invades Taiwan, Japan goes imperial and takes the Philipines and Australia. New Zealand and Fujimori, the former Peruvian President and new Emperor of Japan, decide to take South America in a series of bloodless coups (except in Belize. Who knew they could be so tough?). The Soviet Union decides to send gas bombs to every European country, but they all get away because they see the clouds coming. Every country except for France because all of their cars have been burnt to a crisp.

At this point, everyone realizes that this global catastrophe is all of Canada's fault and everyone decides to gang up on us, thus bringing an end to the debacle that was/will be the 2006 elections.

The Japanese will have to fight off the Indonesian hordes before they get their hands on Australia. Other than that little detail, your scenario seems entirely plausible.

Also, Kashmir will surprise us all by taking over most of Paskistan.

So what are the odds for the various combinations? I'd bet on a minority government, but I have no clue what sort of coalition might crawl out from under the woodwork.

Holy crap, I know, right! If only ours would be taken down... Well, one congressman at a time here I guess. Just had one tearfully resign and plead guilty to bribery and tax evasion stuff. Warmed my heart just a little. It's hard to keep track of the republican criminal scandals.

Come on NDP! Gain some more seats and really force the Liberal Party off of their stupid privitization and tax cut schemes. Gosh darn moderates.

Nice, but too bad thier electing another one or you guys would be home free.

I wish we had a parlimentry system with atleast three parties though. If that were so, Bush would be getting or no confidence vote around this time to (yup, things are that bad for the bastard and I'm loving every minute of it).

And one month long presidential races wouldn't hurt either, the 1 and a half year cycle here is ridiculously obsolete.

Heh. I have no clue what this means.

However, meanwhile mounties are still patrolling, so it's not anarchy yet. ;)

normally i'm happy to see governments overthrown. but apparently this means that your pot legalization bill will die on the floor, what with parliament being dissolved and whatnot. i think that's ironic. or at least stupid. maybe not ironic, but definitely stupid. anyway, i don't understand the subtleties of canadian politics, but i am rooting for paul martin, because i want pot to be legalized. it will destabilize the prohibition regime. to some extent. but good luck with your election and whatnot.
