The sooner the Liberal party dies out the sooner the Green Party can takes its place. I'm happy they get more and more votes each time around. Hopefully by the time they can make a run for some real seats they have a platform that doesn't have the cost of a loaf of bread tripling over-night.
I'll never vote Liberal again after all the money the Cretien and Martin gov'ts stole and wasted. They're a bunch of lying thieves. And the NDP lives a perpetual pipe dream (even more than the Greens!) of social programs for everything up to wiping your ass with no plan to sustain them.
The Conservatives may hate art, but they love money. And it would seem in today's economic conditions, I'd rather have money oriented people in charge instead of flower power.

The Greens and the Federal NDP have had a couple of longtime advantages when it comes to campaigning... they both know (and knew) there was exactly zero chance of them ever having to form government. In that situation, you can be comfortable in knowing you can promise the moon, and never have to deliver. You don't really need to worry about ensuring you have your entire plan costed reasonably. Who cares when you absolutely, positively KNOW you won't have to worry about actually implementing anything. Promise a turkey in every pot, a house for every person, a job for everyone who wants one, and generous welfare for those that don't. All why reducing taxes on the poor middle class, and sticking it to the evil business. Oh, and we'll clean up the environment with our magic swiffer too.
