NDP to prop up Liberals?

If the Liberals will reduce corporate tax cuts and give more money to Ontario, the NDP say they will keep the Liberals in power. This is wrong on so many levels; it's sheer political opportunism, it's propping up a government that deserves to be punished for years of corruption, it's annoying, and I don't think it could even work.

Right now, the standings are: Liberals 132, Conservatives 99, Bloc 54, NDP 19, Ind 3, Vacant 1

So a majority is 154. Libs + NDP = 151. Since the independent members are Parrish (disgraced and booted out former Liberal), Cadman (Conservative who won as an independent), and Kilgour (former Conservative and recently former Liberal), there's real no chance that all three would vote with the government. We can assume that the Conservatives and the Bloc could defeat the government if everyone shows up.

So how come this is news again? Didn't we cover the "NDP aren't power brokers" story after the last election?
