ESSEX, Ontario — NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says she calls “bullspit” on the idea she would form a coalition with the Progressive Conservatives.<\/p>\n

The Liberals have been hammering Horwath with accusations she would support the Tories in a minority government scenario.<\/p>\n

Horwath has not explicitly ruled out propping up either the Tories or the Liberals if they win a minority government, but after being asked by reporters for days about various scenarios, including coalitions, she ruled one out today.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Essex, Horwath said she calls “bullspit” on the idea that the NDP would join a formal coalition with PC Leader Tim Hudak.<\/p>\n

She has previously said she wouldn’t support Hudak’s plan to cut 100,000 public sector jobs, nor would she support “corrupt” Liberals.<\/p>\n

Horwath says she is going to respect the decision of voters when they cast their ballots on Thursday, and she trusts that people will elect a government that “makes sense for the people” — one of the NDP’s election slogans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
