This is quite possible and there is another precedent! Formed in 1912 by Teddy Roosevelt after splitting from the Republican Party, the Progressive Party (nicknamed the Bull Moose Party) ran on a platform of progressive legislation. Roosevelt was shot during the campaign, but went ahead with his speech anyway, referring to the bullet he carried: “It takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose”. But the split did kill the Republican Party’s chances of victory, allowing the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson to win the 1912 election.
I voted: NoOn the contrary, this is the closest we come to true coalition government, where other parties take seats in Cabinet. I care less whether NDP support for the Liberal government benefits the NDP than that it results in policies (dental care, pharmacare) of benefit to the country.
