You are exactly correct, policy is being developed first on the basis of salability to the public in pursuit of a majority than as any extension of core values/principles. Indeed, this is exactly the approach Harper and the CPC would claim was the mode of operations for the Martin Liberals, I guess this was just another area where they were projecting their own behaviour onto their enemies. In that policies and actions were considered first and foremost for how to gain/retain power than for any other consideration like principles/values/long term interests.<BR/><BR/>I think you are exactly right in the need for the opposition parties and especially the Libs to be making this point at every single opportunity they can. That this is not a government of principles and values but a soulless machine interested first and foremost in its own power and willing to use any tool to gain it regardless of how good/bad it is for the country overall.Scotianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284856315992405261noreply@blogger.com
