A lot of people will still vote for the Liberals because (1) Harper's attack on political financing is exactly the type of neo-con assault on democracy that they always worried he'd carry into effect with a majority, and Harper just confirmed their fears, and (2) as I stated before, there is the potential here for the re-emergence of the Liberals under a new leader, with a new "willing to stand up to Harper" image.
Of course, on the other hand, you could be right.

Asking a political party to raise their own funds instead of being propped up by taxpayer doallars...is now a "neo-con" assualt on democracy?
Good grief.
I guess that means that Obama is a "neo-con" then? Right?
No wonder liberal thinking has me in a constant state of bewilderment.
