Minority Government in Ontario??

Unless the Liberals get a little boost in support over the next two weeks (or another party gets a giant boost of support), it looks like Ontario might be in a minority government situation. Mr. McGuinty is prepared to accept such a result, meaning that he likely won't be pulling a Joe Clark. If a minority government does occur, it looks like the NDP will potentially be the kingmakers.

Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty says he is prepared to accept a minority government if that’s the will of the voters. “The electorate will do its own thing in its own course and I accept that and that’s fine by me,” McGuinty said today after re-announcing the restoration of GO service to Barrie from Toronto by the end of the year...

According to the survey of 500 Ontarians, the Liberals are mired at 41 per cent, the Progressive Conservatives holding at 33 per cent, the NDP at 18 per cent and the Green Party stuck at 8 per cent support. If those numbers hold, the Liberals might be looking at forming a minority government. The margin of error for the SES polls was plus or minus 4.4 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
