NDP has more to lose from new deal with Liberals, experts warn
Cochrane, an expert on minority governments, said the deal would not prevent Trudeau calling an election before 2025 if polls suggested he would win with a firm majority.But he warned that the NDP-Liberal pact could prove “a gift” to the Tories.
Dalhousie University politics professor Lori Turnbull says the NDP isn’t getting any more power out of the plan and there is a risk the Liberals can use it to cut short debate on important bills.“There’s an obvious incentive here to take everything and jam it into an omnibus budget bill so that everything has to go through,” she said.
“Canadians, by and large in the polling I have done, want their political leaders to work together to solve problems,” he said. “Many would say their second choice was the Liberals _ most of them, in fact _ and that is true vice versa among Liberal voters.”Political Pact: Breaking down the Liberal/NDP deal
