This is no threat to democracy, it's a threat to parties who can't organize themselves properly. And if you can't even run your own party, why should you be trusted to potentially run the country?

You know what pisses me off?
Instead of these unorganized parties deciding to just get organized and stop living off the public dollar, they decide to band together to overthrow a Government we just democratically elected a month ago! All so they can keep billing us for their BS campaigns that don't even accomplish anything.
I'm willing to bet that, if there was a referendum on this issue, it would be a landslide in favour of the Conservatives. Even my Liberal and NDP friends are completely in favour of this. We can't have a referendum, though, because POWER is more important than what's right for this country. You don't get POWER by letting people have a say. You have to gang up and take POWER if you want it.
What's so different about what the Liberals and NDP are trying to do, compared to what we see all the time in the Middle East? I mean, sure, they're using saner tactics and not blowing up buildings and people... but the end goal is exactly the same.
I am so sick and %^%$%$$##$# tired of this crap, that it's not even funny.
