2. "Overtly, I'll make it look like siding with Harper will save us from an election... but overtly, I know that if Harper sides with me, Ignatief will demolish him in the election and that will be the end of the PCs."
or.. 3. "I realize that for the good of the country and its economic stability, this isn't the best time for an election that will just turn out to be a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars."

I know... I know... I'm giving a politician, especially Layton, WAY too much credit but I can at least dream that someone has a bit of sense, can't I?
