The New Democrat Math

Jack Layton has offered NDP support to the Liberals in exchange for some budget changes. I have heard some people (okay, it was in the Vancouver Canucks newsgroup) suggest this was an evil political ploy, but I have no problem with it. The NDP has no chance of forming government anytime soon, so joining a coalition is their only chance to directly form government policy. And that's what they should be trying to do.
