CBC Radio One – The Sunday Edition - Michael Enright – June 28, 2015

Polls suggest none of the three main parties are likely to win a majority in Canada's federal election in October, but our political culture has been resistant to coalition governments. In Denmark, coalitions are a political way of life. Michael talks to Adam Price, creator and head writer of the wildly popular Danish political drama, Borgen.
Michael also talks to two Canadians familiar with the levers of power - retired Conservative senator Hugh Segal, and Janice MacKinnon, who served in Lorne Calvert's NDP-led coalition with the Liberals in Saskatchewan.
