If it is unstable, and collapses quickly, then Joe Average is going to be pissed when he heads to the polls for the third time in four years.

This is the real risk they're taking. I think the smart play is to let Harper eat the economy-turd-sandwich for 18 months and then run against his failed economic policies. This way they make themselves responsible for the economy at the worst possible time. High risk, high reward, I guess.

(at first I didn't know who you meant by "USSR." Just an FYI--that's about as apt a comparison as if I were to call the Conservatives the "Fascists." Exaggeration is all fun and games until somebody loses an eye. )
