<br/><br/> "Everyone in Canada knows that in 2011 the Harper Conservatives won a majority with a minority of votes. Everyone sees that if the opposition parties figured out a way to work together, they'd have an excellent chance of beating the Tories next time. Yet the possibility of a coalition or a merger keeps slipping away. This book shows how the ambitions, animosities, and hidden agendas of opposition politicians and parties stand in the way of Canadians getting the kind of government that a majority of Canadians vote for."--pub. desc.
