I knew what you meant.

Did he happen to flick a forked tongue at all? That guy is a puke/snake/weasel. Hopefully, Harper will get in.

Its funny, CBC, Mope-n-Wail, etc had headlines today or yesterday 'Liberals Surging in polls...' And garbage like that. Harpers 2% GST cut alone is enough for me, not to mention his stances elsewhere!!! I wonder how long it would take for unemployment rates to decline with that cut alone, and make the cost of living easier everyone (particularly for me as a student!!).

Also note that in my scenario the Coservatives would have a bare majority in the ROC - 117 out of 231.

What we need is a red-hot Tory in Quebec to split the Bloc vote, which is a weird amalgam of left and right; and a continued de-fusing of the 'fear of Harper' syndrome engendered by the Establishment media in Anglo-Canada.

To elect a majority government, the Tories need to take 20+ seats in Quebec, plus make inroads into the Metro areas in Anglo-Canada. These are projects for the next election.

"Thus, the Conservatives can form a minority government without the support of either the Libs or the Bloc."



Er, not quite.

Under parliamentary law, they would form the government, since they'd be the party with the most seats; but they need a majority (153) to get any laws passed - that means some kind of coalition or deal with one of the other 3 parties.

Take your choice: Bloc (separatist traitors), Liberals (devil incarnate), or NDP (bleeding heart leftists).

THAT's the problem with this country's politics.

[headsonpikes]

Of course I meant a minority Conservative government supported by the NDP.

I can live with that.

Easily. Bones can be thrown!

"All together now:
The working class can kiss my ass,
I've got the boss' job at last!"

[canuck_conservative]

" a minority Conservative government supported by the NDP. "

Getting in bed with the NDP would be a mistake that every Conservative in Canada would regret for a long time.

GOT TO get a majority - minority governments are nightmares.

[GMMAC]

Aside from the obvious beauty of dividing the opposition caucuses, the trick to making minority government work is presenting Legislation which will appeal to those relatively right-of-center Liberals and the few fiscally conservative Bloc MP's - or at least won't dare vote against if they hope to get re-elected.

And, if the CPC has enough popular support to form even a minority government, there's going to be a considerable portion of its platform that will fall into this category.

The NDP doesn't even enter into the equation.
(after all we're talking about people no further left than many Liberals but who were too stupid, dogmatic - or possibly too honest about expressing their true agendas - to join the party which would permit them to profit from same - LOL!)

[GMMAC]

As an example of Legislation that would seemingly be easily be passed in the manner described above, check out the CPC's "Accountability" ad here.

Be lots of 'splainin' to do back home for some MP's if they dared to vote against this - LOL!

[Heartofsong83]

My current prediction: Conservative 114, Liberal 107, Bloc 65, NDP 22.

[Canadian Outrage]

I can tell you IF the Liberals are surging in the polls in Ontario, then frankly there is NO hope whatsoever. The country needs to break up in that event.

[Canadian Outrage]

I forget but how many seats did the Tories have in Quebec when Mulroney was in? Of course he was from Quebec which helps. This is maybe what is at the root of it. The usual suspects would rather vote for a criminal than a Westerner. If that's the case, then separation is the only answer. You notice that the United States has had a President from States from all over the country, Mass. California, Texas, Arkansas,. It doesn't seem to matter in the United States but then they have a much better political system. I don't even regard our system as Democratic. It's not. When you can form a Majority govt. with 39% of the votes of the electorate, it's NOT democratic. ONE area is controlling the entire country. I don't want any more of it.

[Canadian Outrage]

You said it perfectly. That's what I don't want anymore of. It's a lose lose situation for us.

[fanfan]

If he wins, because of a split vote, excellent!

If he doesn't win, we should hire him.

:-)


Perhaps some could work for the losing team.....Naw!
