So lets get something straight.
First we gather the facts on candidates and their party affiliation. We look at things like the policies they deem important and we make a decision at some point whether or not we are going to vote for them.
Sort of sound like the makings of the average informed voter?
OK then, next.
Then on the day of the election we go to a polling station and we cast our informed vote for a candidate and a party of our choice.
Then the winning party (not parties) with the most votes takes office and happily runs our great country.
Right?
WRONG!!!
If you ask the NDP and the Liberal parties you do not need to be elected by the people to run our country. In fact if you go even one step further. The Liberal's have even decided to change the leader of their party and try and shove him into the PM seat.
HOLD ON ONE MINUTE!!!! What kind of games are these?
First you try and oust an elected PM, and then you try and put a person (Ignatieff) into the seat? He wasn't even part of the election process 3 months ago. How can a man that was not voted into power once, gain control of his own party and then without an election gain control of an entire country?
I'm suggesting that we change the name of the Liberal Party to the "Lollipop Party". Because its obvious that they mistake us all for suckers.

I too have been keeping tabs on the 3 ringed circus we have come to call Canadian politics, there are a number of people out there who seem to have their terminology a little messed up. Someone will read this and point out that our PM is not a majority government, yes you are right while our party in power is not a majority government, the majority of Canadians DID vote for the PM's party. If the majority of the Canadian people did not vote for the Tories they wouldn't have the PM's seat right now.
ReplyDeleteThe people have spoken, just because the Liberals got embarassed in the last election doesn't give them the right to force a goverment that was never voted for on us. Besides, the liberals should be grateful to the GG for a porogue decision, if this had gone to another federal election, I think the liberal party might find their party status threatened based on what they are putting the Canadian people through. The coalition better be careful, while we as a Canadians have a high tolerance, we do have a breaking point. Do not push us to far, the result will be far worse than the pathetic showing in a federal election to date.
The Canadian people seem to tire of this ort of nonsense quickly. It is as you say, only a matter of time before the proverbial straw is placed on the camels back. Not that we wouldn't mind a majority government.
