On the House side:
- Demand the details of a potential stimulus package from the opposition parties immediately. If they are so adamant to take power, they will already have a draft budget. Let them show the cards.
- Attempt to find a negotiating point with at least one of the Opposition parties. Make clear what you're willing to concede. A reasonable concession could give us enough breathing space to table a Budget. Also, this would call the Opposition's bluff by showing them for the intransigent power-seekers they are.
- Failing that, table a detailed binding blueprint for the next Budget, making it a matter of confidence. If we have to fall, let us fall over a clear policy rather than an economic update whose alterations would take too long to explain to the average voter.
- Recommend to the Governor General that she refuse all Senate appointments by the incoming Government due to the lack of a coalition mandate from the voters of either party. Any Senate appointments shall be made after the next federal election.
- Not ask for the Governor General to prorogue Parliament. Shutting House business is the last thing we need in these turbulent economic times
- Not be afraid to lose. Minority governments have the tendency to fall, and ours is no exception.
- Acknowledge that this Country has had its fair share of both good and bad Governments, and 13 years of Liberal rule didn't make it into a socialist gulag. Their policies may be wrong, but they're nothing we can't set right with a majority.
- Talking majorities, double-check the Party's communication strategy.
- Present the Opposition with a copy of the Cencelli handbook, which was instrumental in giving Italy a new Government each year.
- Remain undeterred as Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.

Canada is a Confederation. I has 10 provinces and 1 federal government.
Th conservatives won 6 provinces
The Libs won 3 provinces
The Bloc won 1 province
The NDP won 0 provinces.
The conservatives won 7 (including federal) the coalition won 4
The conservative are more representative than the coalition!!!
Some good recommendations Luca, but you are dead wrong about damage from THIS coaliton. The potential for this socialist/separatist hybrid to open this treasure chest, in a raid, will set this country back possibly for ever. New ground will be broken and new sacred cows entrenched. The country will be doomed.
With so many stakeholders it'll be a nightmare dividing up the cows before they can even entrench them.
I don't like the idea of a coalition and I don't like the idea of elections. However I think we shouldn't rush to the polls just yet.
