I wonder if you Fiberals are willing to admit, how bizarre it is for your heroes to be making a deal with the NDP and the seperatists, to push through an NDP driven budget and make sure the BQ gets its vote on the same sex bill? Yet still have the audacity to claim...and i quote from one of your own in this thread alone...

What deal did Martin make with the Bloc?
hypocrisy indeed.
Sorry, but what deal did they make with the BQ?

I know they made a budget deal with the NDP (i.e. they ammended their budget to add NDP provisions in order to secure NDP support), but here the Liberals had planned all along to move on to the same-sex bill. The Liberals didn't give the BQ anything or alter their plans at all, the BQ just agreed with what the Liberals were already going to do.



On a more general point: How exactly do you Conservative supporters see a Conservative minority gov't working?

You don't think that a Conservative minority is going to have to make concessions and deals with the socialists, seperatists or Fiberals? Do you honestly think a Harper gov't would come in and table purely Conservative bills with no concessions to other parties?

It would be a recipe for one of the most ineffective gov'ts in Canadian history, which is why it wouldn't happen. PM Harper and the Conservative gov't would at least try to make deals to get it's legislation passed, which would mean the whole right wing of this board would either have to turn on them in outrage, or become burried under a mountain of hypocracy.

It's almost wort voting Conservative just to find out.
