As The Cat forecast, Harper has started the 2011 election cycle with a bang, leading with his best suit: Ignatieff will form a coalition with the godless socialists and treacherous separatists rather than let me rule as a minority government again. And, just as The Cat forecast (here, here, and here), Ignatieff is being hammered by the media over the issue as shaped by Harper, and is coming off second best so far.
Score 1 for Harper & Zero for Liberals:
Note what is happening: Harper framed the issue of coalitions in a way to suit his party; the media unthinkingly picked up the framing, did not do their homework, and have been repeating it at media scrums with Ignatieff; and Ignatieff's answer is being treated by the media as a non-answer or as incomplete.
