However, if the situation had been reversed and a minority Liberal government suspended parliament to avoid defeat in a confidence vote, most of the posters in this thread would be screaming bloody murder. I doubt many of you will admit it, but you know it's true.

If the Liberals had 143 seats and the Conservatives only had 77 and needed Socialist/Separatist support in order to wrest power away from a Liberal Government that was just elected 6 weeks ago... before that Government has even been able to announce it's budget...
I would absolutely be just as livid. I've already stated in this thread, that I don't have any historical party affiliations. Every election, I vote for who I think would be the best party to lead our country (and the best Leader to lead our country). I voted Chretien in his first election. I voted Harper in both of his elections. If there's an election next month, I'll be voting Harper again.
As for the future? Who knows. About the only thing I can possibly guarantee is I will not be voting for a Separatist or a Socialist party.
