Nice.
Well, if it takes special smarts to understand that the only possible rule is that what Stephen Harper does is right and good and what his opponents do is corrupt and evil... then yeah, I'm not smart enough.
How about you explain the difference so that a lackwit like me can understand it, then? I hope you can do better than a piece of paper.
The fact is, this "socialist-bloc-coalition" stuff is just nonsense and scare tactics. I know it, Stephen Harper knows it, Ignatieff knows it, Duceppe knows it and you know it. All of us are at least that smart.
We are likely to have minority governments for a while. We're having some growing pains right now as the political parties adjust to that reality. After they do--you'd better get used to coalition governments, because it's the only way we'll achieve any real stability in government. The sooner Stephen Harper figures that out, the better.
And for the record, I actually support Harper forming an informal, temporary coalition with the NDP on the basis of EI reforms, which is what he's doing. I think it's smart--both as a matter of policy and as a way of leaving the Liberals out in the cold in a political sense. I just wish he wouldn't be such a hypocrite about it.
