Tyee Poll: Is a Liberal-NDP Coalition Inevitable or Impossible?

"Suck It Up, Progressives," declared the headline of a recent Ian Gill column on The Tyee, "We Need a Coalition Now." Murray Dobbin made a similar case last week: that a federal coalition between the Liberal and New Democrat parties will become increasingly difficult to ignore as the fall election draws closer.

Plenty of #cdnpoli commentators and some leaders outright reject such an unholy alliance. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau says he's "unequivocally opposed" to a coalition with the NDP, while Tom Mulcair has reluctantly accepted some form of "agreement" may be in order to oust Harper and form government in October.

Based on policy, personality, or whatever pet issue you fancy, we'd like to know if you see these two parties setting aside their differences this election cycle.
