Even recently, you hear the same garbage coming from a certain Calgary MP.

A minority is good because they can be kept in check and you would assume that they would negotiate with other parties (as we've learned, they didn't in their first major confidence vote until after they were threatened with losing their power).
While I agree that some of these dufi need to be removed from the conservatives, you honestly think a party run by theives is more trustworthy than a party with a few stupid backbenchers? Really? I think this is where the problem in Canadian politics lies right here.

And you keep saying the conservatives wouldn't negotiate, yet you have no proof. The NDP and the bloc had already banded together against them, and the liberals never negotiate with them. Who is this mythical group they were supposed to negotiate with?
