No--what I WANT is for Harper to swallow his pride and somehow find 10 more votes so that we don't have to deal with this nonsense. If he can't or won't, then my enthusiasm for another election isn't very high, and I don't think many Canadians want to be going back to the polls in January. It's clear that this government isn't stable enough to last much more than 18 months either way, but I'd like to see Harper find a way to work with at least enough opposition MPs that something gets done during this time.

Failing that, I guess we see what the other guys can do. I'd be lying if I said I was enthusiastic about it--but I still think they're bluffing. They must be--because there's no logical end game here for them.
