"The durability of the NDP-Green alliance will face difficult and continuous stress tests, as will citizens’ comfort level with the fact that the survival of the government and the passage of transformative bills will depend on the Speaker’s votes."

That prediction assumes all the (Socred) Liberals will hold their seats, and will accept party discipline that orders them to show up for votes.  But many of them are opportunists who have just lost a lot of pay and perks as ministers in Clark's government.  Others may simply find more rewarding jobs outside politics.

Wait and see.
