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?
What I said was that the liberals are only willing to compromise if they are leading. The only way this coalition works is if everyone involved gets what they want. The bloc want more money for Quebec, and for this to work will likely get it. The NDP want to throw money at the problem, and the liberals will amend their financial platform to do it. The liberals just want to be the governing party, even if it means going against all of their supposed principles to do it. Yeah, this coalition sounds like a great plan for Canada.
