If we had Israeli style elections, after the vote on October 14, 2008 between them the Libs, Dips and Greens would have had 51.2% of the vote and 51.2% of the seats, enough for a majority.
Just think:
PM - Dion
Deputy PM - Layton
Min of Finance - Rae
Min of the Environment - May
That's why I want to stick to FPTP.

FPTP is the electoral method...you can still have a coalition with it as our parliamentary system of government allows for it.
I do like the plurality system better, i agree with you, but it's due to the fact that it forces parties to broaden their bases, discourages fringe parties and avoids questionable swing parties in coalitions.
