This isn't posturing for the election at home, it's bypassing getting elected entirely. (Okay, maybe a bit of both, but moreso the latter.)
Has this EVER worked? Not in any of these examples we've brought up. Harper, nope, Romney, nope. I'd be surprised if Mulcair thought he was going to block it. No, I think it's far more political maneuvering than actual policy plan.

I think you're giving politicians a wee bit too much credit.
