Given the likelihood that no single party will be able to form a majority government, which parties would you prefer to enter into coalition talks? Alternatively, would you prefer for a party to attempt to govern in a minority situation?

Just to be clear, I did not try to obscure the Worker's Party, but the poll is to focus on the three big parties.  Such a situation as you outline is entirely possible.

You over estimate my ability to think after 7pm Tongue , a thought like that didn't even cross my mind.

I would definitely like to see the Social Liberals play a role in the formative Parliament of our new nation, but I'd rather wait for the results of the elections to decide who, if anyone, to form a coalition with.

There are reasonable people in both of the other major parties and I would be pleased to form government with either.

Pioneers and either Conservatives or Social Liberals.

I went with the latter two in the poll, as we're considered a "minor party" relative to the others.

I would not overestimate the Social Liberals' power in possible coalition negotiations when there is still the apparently (too) often overlooked possibility of a Grande Coalition between Socialists and Conservatives to consider...

I do not think a grand coalition too likely.

Neither do I, but there is a possibility which to completely disregard could bode out not too well for our centrists friends...

What'd be the fun of coalition negotiations if there was no intrigue beyond us choosing who we like better?

I like the idea of a Conservative-Pioneers coalition.
