Try these on for size.
OK, this is bad. Here are my ideas to make it better.
1. We start a far-right party, which will re-split the vote on the right. It will be pro-gun, anti-abortion, anti-welfare, anti-immigrant, pro-military, anti-environment, etc. etc. It will be called the "Timmys" party to appeal to those who vote for the familiar.
2. The Liberals accept the fact that the Chretien days are over, never to return. Jack Layton, Bob Rae, and Justin Trudeau head up a new merged party.
3. The Liberals, Greens, and NDP agree to an accord. For 10 years, they will not run candidates in ridings where another party is more likely to win. Part of this accord will be that they will institute an instant-run-off or proportional-representation voting system as soon as they can collectively form a majority in parliament.
4. Alberta separates.
Any of these would effectively end the chance for the Conservatives to form a majority. Let's pick one and make it happen.
