They climb a couple steps bellowing incoherently about the evil empire, and then slide back three.<br /><br />The CPC floor is somewhere around 30-32%. They occasionally raise it to 38%. The LPC floor use to be 30% but every six months they seem to drop a couple more percentage points from their core. Their floor is now somewhere around 25%.<br /><br />Harper may never win a majority. This would be to Canada's detriment. But if you really want him gone, I suggest that the LPC keep pulling that election lever. Eventually, Harper will tire of campaigning and pass the mantle to some one else. <br /><br />But I think differently. As soon as the LPC pulls that lever, they lose 5% (if they aren't already at their floor) and the CPC gains 5%. Without a mid-campaign scandal, that will run right through election day. <br /><br />If the LPC really wanted to govern, Dion would never have allowed their coalition letter to be made public prior to the vote. <br /><br />If they want to govern now, they need a coalition that includes the BQ. And they can't be shy about it.Tommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072854015300215347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-2416638923438990752010-05-01T12:49:23.412-04:002010-05-01T12:49:23.412-04:00"Harper will get his majority."
HAHAHAH..."Harper will get his majority."<br /><br />HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!<br /><br />Oh, Tomm. You do make me laugh. The CPoC may very well procure a majority someday, but under Harper that will never, ever happen. I sincerely believe you know this so why offer up such a false declaration? Does it make you feel good to be held up as a blind acceptor of nonsense?Omarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058734544373976550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-54105433236528489892010-04-30T22:48:39.368-04:002010-04-30T22:48:39.368-04:00The Liberal's should force an election over th...The Liberal's should force an election over this. They shouldn't compromise but stick with their allies and bring the government down.<br /><br />Except that if they do, they die. <br /><br />Harper will get his majority. This issue is not a vote getter. Those that are engaged are already engaged.

But who will the public side with? Given the antics of some opposition members and the security leaks that have happened in the past, who would you trust with sensitive national security information?<br /><br /> (keeping in mind that there are also other nations involved here..)<br /><br /> And how would you 'swear in' any Bloc MP's to secrecy when they can't swear any allegiance to Canada? Would you leave them out, and accept the political fallout?Fred from BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914558903316825761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-75420232065652413922010-04-28T08:03:56.302-04:002010-04-28T08:03:56.302-04:00You read the headlines - Iran/lack of democracy, T...You read the headlines - Iran/lack of democracy, Thailand and it makes you appreciate our system.
