In every single vote over the last two years, the NDP had the option of voting confidence in Harper and don't kid yourself, if the Liberals thought for one second that the NDP's resolve to vote down the Harper government was weakening - they would instantly start voting non-confidence over and over and trying to do what opposition parties are supposed to do - OPPOSE!DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587165866597795302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-46528444660278344762009-08-25T19:50:48.367-04:002009-08-25T19:50:48.367-04:00Greg

I won't say it's impossible, because nothing is impossible. The moon might fall into the pacific ocean tomorrow, too. That is also possible, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. What you have to ask yourself, which party is more likely to vote with the government, the one that has done so for three years or the one that has never done so? <br /><br />Now, the answer may be that neither will support the Tories(and believe me that is what I am hoping for), but the more likely answer is the Liberal Party will back down, because it has a history of doing so.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509182679650412982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-34036751001139431012009-08-25T19:17:38.473-04:002009-08-25T19:17:38.473-04:00"that the NDP will prevent an election once, ..."that the NDP will prevent an election once, is a national disgrace?

Taken to it's logical conclusion, it means if the NDP actually had any say whatsoever, we would have had 79 elections. Then the question becomes, is that really want Canadians want? I'm fine with just dropping the whole argument, but PLEASE spare me this sanctimony coming from a party that's sole motive seems to be leaving the Libs as the only ones to weigh serious options. Saying you've voted 79 times is really a testament to your irrelevance. What happened all those times? Oh, that's right, nothing.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-9067736596332506192009-08-25T18:59:54.225-04:002009-08-25T18:59:54.225-04:00Can you just answer me why voting to prevent an el...Can you just answer me why voting to prevent an election 79 times is a national service, but an unsubstantiated rumor that the NDP will prevent an election once, is a national disgrace?
