With responsibility - something the Dippers won't have ever- comes tough decisions. I have a different opinion than my leader as to when the next election should be. So, I'll wait it out I guess.James Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064830948270604331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-65976563142617620712008-04-30T08:32:00.000-04:002008-04-30T08:32:00.000-04:00Welcome to the dark side, James (maybe?).

Completely. If the LPC takes a partial hit because of it, then so be it.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who believes that the CPC can form anything resembling a majority after all this shit, should try to have a little more faith in the morality of the average Canadian.<BR/><BR/>AustinAustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10370362560890440923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-62027796242504272922008-04-30T01:05:00.000-04:002008-04-30T01:05:00.000-04:00Assuming the Liberals keep the Conservatives alive...Assuming the Liberals keep the Conservatives alive and don't vote non-confidence. Then one of two things will happen.<BR/><BR/>1)The Conservatives are be able to deface our tools of democracy. Justice is not served, and over spending, braking election regulations become campaign tools. And Canada forever loses the fairness in elections it enjoyed in the past.<BR/><BR/>2)The Liberals are tied to the Conservatives and are destroyed along with Stephen Harper's deceitful government. This is the best hope the Conservatives have, because it is still unlikely that the NDP will form the government. The result will likely be another minority government where the Conservatives may hold the strings of power. <BR/><BR/>In neither case will the Liberals be untarnished if they continue to support the Conservatives and do not vote them out. In fact the Liberals might find themselves wiped out instead of the Conservatives.tdwebstehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185860781518819759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-36910722276065717382008-04-29T23:43:00.000-04:002008-04-29T23:43:00.000-04:00Have you been living under a rock?Have you been living under a rock?James Curranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064830948270604331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865994732097663473.post-6607854014952344222008-04-29T23:33:00.000-04:002008-04-29T23:33:00.000-04:00A Spring election is, in my opinion, is a dumb ide...A Spring election is, in my opinion, is a dumb idea. What makes it dumber is the continuing threatening of an election, without following through.<BR/><BR/>The LPC needs (at least) another year to improve their fortunes, so what's the rush?Möbiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851148006420274055noreply@blogger.com
