I don't think we'll get an election this year unless some unforeseen issue surfaces; there just isn't the movement in the polls for it to be worth anyone's while. If the status quo is maintained for another election, the knives may be out in both major parties. Might be time for the Tories to admit that 38% is about the extent of Harper's upside; and Ignatieff has done nothing to increase his own party's standing. Neither leader can be optimistic about their political prospects unless something significant changes.
