Which is exactly why I'm not opposed to an election right now. For two years Dion has been threatening to bring down the government. Almost nothing has been accomplished in parliament during that time because Liberals keep abstaining from votes and Dion keeps issuing his ominous threats. What is the point of another year of this crap? You would prefer that Harper allow another year to be wasted so that he keeps his word?
Hey, I don't like liars either, but this is something that, when looked at from the grand scheme of things, is better for everyone.
If you figure that it wont matter because the Cons will just win another minority, I disagree. It will matter. While I personally hope for a Conservative majority, I highly doubt it will happen. But it's more than likely that the Conservatives will get another minority and that will more than likely lead to a change in leadership for the Liberals. Once that happens, we just might see some work get done on Parliament Hill.
And hopefully after 3 more years of a Conservative minority, the Liberals have their crap sorted out and they present a good leader that is capable of heading up the opposition into an election (where hopefully, the Liberals lose again).
