A more centrist Liberal party is also more likely to take seats from the Conservatives than the NDP, which to me at least, would be a good thing overall for Parliament.

I will further postulate that the attack against Iggi will be that up until 2 years ago, the guy didn't even live in Canada and only returned to make an attempt to take over the Liberals, that the first time he held a seat in Parliament was after he was just elected. That he has no experience and that he spent most of his life living outside of the country.

That being said, from what I have read, Iggi would probably have been better... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Dream King668) http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/sreply/55699 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 11:52:45 GMT http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/reply/55698/t/Anyone-for-another-election-.html#reply-55698 feeds@yuku.com (LucianMortim) http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/sreply/55698 Tue, 09 Dec 2008 09:53:26 GMT http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/reply/55697/t/Anyone-for-another-election-.html#reply-55697

Dion is gone.
Rae is out.
Ignatieff is going to be your new LIberal leader, and he's not down with the coalition so much. Now I guess there are three scenarios in play:

Liberals back down and prop up the Conservative government in January.

You are right, we have just had a powerful demonstration that we are a constitutional monarchy, and NOT a pure play democracy. The head of Canada is NOT Parliament, it's the Queen of England! And she just proved it.

The Queen's proxy has granted Harper's wishes, and suspended Parliament. Despite being given notice that the Prime Minister no longer has the confidence of the house (without which he cannot govern). Wow, just peachy. Now Harper will subject us all to 6 weeks of Government funded Conservative propaganda. Sooner or later he has to realise he's in a MINORITY. He cannot do anything without convincing one of the opposition parties to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ordeneus) http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/sreply/55684 Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:20:25 GMT http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/topic/6123/t/Anyone-for-another-election-.html
The Conservatives have tabled a budget bill that includes the following:

Removal of the rights of Civil servants to strike. (NDP would never vote for this)
No assistance for the auto industry, thus killing Ontario (Liberals would never vote for this)

So, in response the Liberals tabled a motion of no confidence in the Government. The vote is on Monday, if passed, no more Harper government... The Liberals and the NDP have signed a formal coalition pact,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ordeneus) http://darkvancouver.yuku.com/topic/6123 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 09:25:18 GMT
