You know, Schreiner is getting noticed....he's acquitting himself very well, and last election, they came in second in a number of ridings, got some 8% of the popular vote IIRC.
Consider the number of persons absolutely estranged from Wynne (not that they voted for her in the first place, but couldn't vote for the ConMonsters)(and again, I have to make it clear, I'm from a Conservative background, but old school) but polls are 'catching' their 'voting for Ford'. They're not, they're ranting. Come the time to pull the trigger, they're not going to commit moral suicide. They're going to be looking for viable, sensible, and *articulate* options. And Shreiner's certainly one. And Horwath has to promote the Dippers as being so also.
How far could I see this going? An official coalition NDP/Lib with Schreiner and a few others unofficially being members, at least acting 'on contract'.
The common enemy is Ford. God help us all if the Bull (shitter) gets loose in the China Shop.
Addendum: Nothing states the case like this, albeit you'll have to think about it a bit:
Wynne calls for the Greens to be allowed into Ontario leaders' debates
And the pic from the article says it even better:
That's the Coalition right there, official or otherwise.
And it's a pretty damn good choice considering the alternative.
And how ironic, Mr "Some of my best friends are Black. I used buy and sell hash with them...." isn't in it.
