the ndp currently holds the balance of power in our gov't. if they withdraw their support, the gov't falls. in order to remain in power the current governing party (liberal), has to adopt policies or even pass law, with the input of the lesser party. this is a forced compromise, and is generally a result of popular public opinion and want. because of the multi-party system, the politicians are forced to work together if they wanna get anywhere. you see this in europe as well, but it's much much different in the states.
no one gets too big for their britches in a multi-party circumstance.
