Did the Tories try to bribe a dying MP?

...and if not, why won't they answer the simple questions?

And finally, why are we not having an election if the opposition believes the Tories lied, they disagree with the budget, and they repeatedly say so? When the government has lost the confidence of the house, it should fall. Except yesterday only seven Liberal MPs showed up to vote on the budget -- voting no, but allowing it to pass through their colleagues' absence. Kinda sad.

Do I want an election that Harper would probably win? Perhaps -- asking the electorate for their opinion would be light years ahead of the current Harper-Dion coalition farce.

Because Stephane Dion won't win, Justin Trudeau still needs to gain experience before he can lead, and win, and Jack Layton looks like a bad 70s porn star.

Hahaha -- all true, yet somehow uncomforting.

I don't want an election. I have no idea who I'd vote for! I actually do like Dion, but I loathe his party too much to vote Liberal. I like the Conservatives, but I despise Harper, and I despise the totalitarian he's become since coming into office, violating all the principles of his party. I mean, the Liberals are supposed to be the party of pragmatism, and the Conservatives are supposed to have lofty ideals. Why has it all gone topsy-turvy?

I'll never vote NDP. Never never never! Voting NDP is the same thing as buying folk music: you're empowering hippies to endlessly annoy you.

I used to vote Green by default because they were relatively harmless, and they used to have an awesome fiscal policy. Now the Greens are less harmless, and their fiscal policy sucks. No more voting Green.

Oh, if only the Bloc would run a candidate in my riding. A vote for treason is better than the other options.
