They don't trust him.

I can understand that.

But these opposition parties would be far better served keeping this "nuclear" option as a deterrent for the time when Harper doesn't back down.

Force the CPC to work with the other parties for the betterment of all. As long as they know they can pull together the votes to trigger an election (or coalition) then they have the power to prevent themselves from being bullied.

I think everyone would be much better off if all these a-holes realized people don't want this strongly partisan crap going on, and figured out how to make things work.

They don't need to agree. Heck they shouldn't agree. Different perspectives are good things. But when they disagree for the sake of disagreeing, they should all be turfed.
