Could not agree with you more on that.

Can't imagine how the U.S. puts up with pretty much a 2 year campaign.

Some of my more political US friends on both sides of the divide start as soon as the new president is sworn in, speculating about how is going to run for the next one..

dont forget the GG might not allow a coalition if an argument can be made that it will not hold....that part people tend to forget

The country is due another coalition, and am sure the Queen will welcome it...she saw that recently over there

We've never had a coalition...closest thing was when members of the liberal party voted alongside Borden but that wasnt a true coalition

It has only been 95 years since the last coalition government, and the laws have changed since then to make it even more unlikely, so perhaps we are due for 40 degree weather on election day too.
