There is growing speculation that Harper has squandered his opportunity for a majority. The latest series of polls suggest a possibility that the Liberals could form a minority government if the March budget precipitates a spring election.
The latest seat projections from EKOS Research suggest that the Liberals could get enough seats to displace Harper. Also a new Angus Reid poll shows that 57 per cent of Canadians believe a federal election this year is “very likely” or “moderately likely”. It also shows that 61 per cent of Canadians disagree with the government’s decision to prorogue.
The portrayal of Harper as an anti-democratic tyrant could form the election issue the Opposition has been seeking. They should focus on and hone this perception in the months ahead.

Whoever is elected we must keep the foucs on the prorogation issue and see limitations are placed on any Prime Minister
I agree that we need limits on prorogation. We're certainly not going to get there with Harper. He is undermining democracy.
Indeed prorogue needs to be limited if not eliminated to counter future abuses by any political party but the general undermining of democracy by this particularly nefarious government is now in play and at the very heart of the matter. The domino effect is well in high gear and this group and most of it's contributors can take full credit for that...
