Well that's great. I just have one concern with it though. Why should we let any politicians off the hook, regardless of the party? Should the electorate accept that because the Liberals were bad that the CPC can be bad?
The one thing that will motivate a politician is a fear of losing his job. That means that at least there has to be the threat that people will vote for the other guy, so when you dismiss them as "not as bad as the other guys" you basically let them do whatever they please with no fear of repercussions. That is a sad state of affairs.
