If you were an optimist, you might think that Harper would get the independent Andre Arthur onside, then get everyone to vote for Peter Milliken or whoever the Liberals throw up for Speaker, then have a 154-153 advantage in voting, presuming everyone shows up ... that's a hard road, though. Of course, given the considerable boost the Tories enjoyed from first-past-the-post this time, I don't see them being keen on PR in any event. Not sure what will happen now.
