Given that the only thing the liberals seem interested in is the appearance of being in charge and they are getting that, is this really a compromise? |
Thanks for the education! I suppose that the Conservatives are showing compromise by disregarding the thoughts of the other parties in parliament though? Its a minority government, so compromise and appeasing is a natural part of that.
The Liberals campaigned on one thing whereas the NDP campaigned on something else. Clearly the BQ campaigned on yet another policy. Coming together for a coalition is exactly what compromise is. I already stated that I'm not sure that this coalition is something that I support, so that is as far as I'm going to defend this.
Further, I laid out why Harper should be waiting for the stimulus package details rather bluntly above this. I think that as a plainly identified liberal on this board I understand compromise quite well!
