What does that have to do with Harper not giving the public straight forward answers? Yes, he has to compromise with other parties, but that does not mean that he cannot say what his government hopes to do in the new year.

BTW, I think it's funny that you would say that the Liberals don't want to compromise considering that they are the ones (not the Conservatives) who are actively trying to form a coalition with another party. That right there, is a bigger gesture of compromise than anything the Conservative party has done lately. Is it just that they are planning to compromise with the NDP and not the Conservatives that you see as a problem?
