I'm a bit torn about this. In a way I'd like to see Tory lose, but trying to think as a non-partisan citizen I might like to see an alternative to the McGuinty Libs one of these days. Better a moderate like Tory than a Whack Job
I hope he wins. I hope we get ten more years of Tory opposition.
Here's the thing. I don't believe it letting opposition leaders keep their jobs. It's the old nine lives trick. The Conservatives will be in a freefall trying to kill each other over who will be leader.
Had we taen Harper down the result would have been the same. Giving him another free life gives him a chance to get off the mat.
Best case scenario I think would be a narrow Tory win (preferably involving a judicial recount). He would get his seat, but be walking wounded for the next 2 years, and his party would eat him alive. It would be so much fun to watch. :^)
I hope he wins. I hope we get ten more years of Tory opposition.
Don't worry. If he does, you will.
