Harper made a huge political blunder by acting like he has a majority government. You don't go around saying that you intend to remove funding for political parties when your in a minority government. That just made the Liberals and NDP hungry to overthrow Harper. Didn't he realize that those parties were already behind financially? What Harper should have done is work to develop a consensus with the Liberals for a couple years. Then, he might have been able to win over enough support for a majority in a 2010 election.
