The Numbers: Who will prop up Carney's Liberals?
Somebody will have to... or we might end up in a campaign again.
The MPs are back in Ottawa and already the big question on Parliament Hill is whether or not the government will survive the budget vote later this fall.
Just a few seats short of a majority, Mark Carney’s Liberals still require the support (or abstention) of at least one other party in the House of Commons. Do any of those parties have an incentive to go back to the polls sooner rather than later?
This week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe break down the current state of the polls and what they say about the stability of this Parliament.
We also discuss the newly-launched Newfoundland and Labrador election campaign, Bonnie Crombie’s resignation as leader of the Ontario Liberals and some provincial polling numbers from coast to coast.
