Acutal democracy? You mean when one party pushes through legislation at will with the other part of the government having zero say. Right, sounds really democratic to me.

Exactly my point. I think parties have way too much sway, which leads to a situation where the PMO can effectively dictate policy and the role of the Opposition is to bray their disapproval. For a guy that promised more free votes and action on the democratic deficit, it seems Harper wields an iron hand over his MP's. Any move that weakens this system, regardless of who it benefits, is at least somewhat beneficial in my mind.
