Did the Tories try to bribe a dying MP?
Mar. 4th, 2008 09:25 pm...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.

Date: 2008-03-05 12:52 pm (UTC)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.
