I was chatting to a senior policy advisor in Ottawa yesterday.
Basically the strategy the liberals are pulling is as such:
Ignatieff gets a freebie loss. He can have an election and lose once and the party nor public give him a hard time about it. So they do this, he loses or just wins.
If he loses Harper gets a minority AGAIN!
This causes infighting in the conservative ranks. Harper having had 4 tries now and 4 minorities is done or should be.
Problems arise in conservative party. Leadership stuff begins with Prentice and Some other guy I can't remember name. Both are polar opposites and have roots dating back to the two different parties. Mess ensues and the conservatives are a wreck.
If Ignatieff wins. Then who cares (other than conservatives obviously).
