Here's an interesting thought: why is it only the Conservatives that have to compromise?

I realize they are a minority Government, as people love to point out... but they are STILL the Government. Minority or not, they are the party that Canadians elected to lead this country.

So why is it so upsetting for a Liberal or a Socialist to compromise? The way people love to throw this "minority Government" thing around makes it sound like they think they're the ones that actually won the election.

News flash: The Liberal "right to power" doesn't exist. Liberals are part of the Parliamentary Democracy too, and in the last election, they were told to sit down and stfu just as loudly as the NDP and BQ were. 6 weeks ago, they suffered their worst defeat ever... their party is in internal chaos and they don't even have a leader. Yet, in true Liberal fashion, they still cling tightly that that self-imposed Liberal Right to Govern.

Here's a novel idea: get your own house in order before you start trying to run my house.


Edit: I'm not, for one second, suggesting that a minority Government should be allowed to govern like it's a majority... I'm simply stating that all I hear from Liberal/Socialist supporters is that "Harper failed to compromise." Well, he IS the ELECTED Prime Minister of Canada, after all. We didn't elect Dion or Layton. Why aren't these same supporters asking why Layton and Dion aren't compromising by backing down after Harper has conceded to their wishes with the fiscal update?
