Ignatieff is seeking power. You may not want him to achieve power but why would you castigate him for trying to do his job? You see, competitive power seeking parties are actually a good thing because it's the backbone of a democracy.

The backbone of democracy is not to further waste money that is obviously needed elsewhere while you try to jump at your only chance to take power. If he was for real he would wait until the new year when most are saying the economy will rebound and go about this the right way. There is no way they can make any sort of difference even if they win a minority government.
