Obviously this wouldn't be the best thing for the Conservative party to do politically.
Except the reason they don't trust Harper is that he is a conservative. The liberals have been running mostly on their BS hidden agenda campaign for years. 'We just stole a ton of your money, but they have a hidden agenda. Be afraid, we are the only ones you can trust'. To me, the liberals don't want to negotiate because, as they have shown ("It's uncanadian to vote conservative" etc.) the liberals fell they are entitled to run Canada. Unfortunately, in this case, we made the 'poor' choice of electing the conservatives, but don't worry, they've come up with a plan to fix our 'mistake'. I don't think Harper resigning will help, because I think we will hear all of the same 'untrustworthy' comments from the liberals about the next conservative leader too. It's the best argument the liberals have come up with to prevent canadians from voting conservative. And it's working too.
