I could really care less as they are all dufii but the strategy of abstaining is stupid. No matter what it makes that party sound like weasels. The Liberals for instance squawking the "people don't want an election" line and it makes them look like losers.
Why not just come right out and say we don't think in the current political climate that we can achieve a majority and so it's smart politics to not have an election now. Then add and we are confident this government will lose what confidence you have in them and we will soon return to a majority government position. On the attack!!!
With everybody saying they are weak they come out and appear --- WEAK.
I'd change the message while still abstaining and waiting for a better hand if I was the Liberal braintrust.
