They say things that matter to their constituents to get elected and then don't do it because its not party policy.<BR/><BR/>There have been numerous examples. The Atlantic Accord. The NL MP's talked the talk, Harper himself as well, but they had no intention to follow through. <BR/><BR/>Income Trust.<BR/><BR/>I have read many letters to papers from seniors who say they were told one thing but got another. <BR/><BR/>This is how they build a support. Each MP says what their local constituents WANT to hear. Its why their is so much doublespaek. we are in Kyoto but are aspiring to cap emissions. Two different promises that were made. One to reformers and one to liberals & red tories they wished to attract.<BR/><BR/>Michael Warner was doing the same I would guess but Harper just couldn't stand the thought of helping with AIDS research and Social housing. The latter I would imagine had more to do with the word social.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404234601709022496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-5390087407395325962007-11-30T11:43:00.000-05:002007-11-30T11:43:00.000-05:00Those are actually some very interesting comments....Those are actually some very interesting comments. The one bad things for Harper is that it's not the nuts that go off message but its actually the respected members of the party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-51942006021322226702007-11-30T09:55:00.000-05:002007-11-30T09:55:00.000-05:00I guess he can make those comments because he has ...I guess he can make those comments because he has nothing left to lose. He already stepped down from the cabinet and I highly doubt he'll promoted from the backbench in the near future.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423615329119443537noreply@blogger.com
