   Looks like NDP+Green coalition as it stands now. Per parliamentary procedure, current incumbent gets first chance to form a govt and win a vote of confidence, so the difference between 46-45 vs 45-46 is important but not the determining factor.

   Obviously this close a balance creates lots of opportunities for chaos and uncertainty: Every MLA who dies or flips out or gets caught being bad can lead to a change in government.

     @evan @timbray Minority, but oh so close. I usually like minority governments though, it makes them play well with others. I like to think that proportional representation would give us that more of the time.
