As a strategy, however, I believe the coalition was planned long before the statement was even drafted. Dion and Layton had it up their sleeves as a means to subvert parliamentary democracy both pre- and post-election. With respect, while you may be technically correct that the Bloc "is not part of the coalition," that is splitting hairs - in the absence of Bloc votes to prop up those of the Liberals and NDP, a coalition to overcome Harper's government, would be a total waste of time. What made me so mad about the whole sorry affair, is that Mr. Flaherty's 'statement' was a stupid, unnecessary political move that played right into the hands of people whose parties had been soundly rejected on a national level. The only thing encouraging, is that a majority of Canadians polled, appear not to have been one bit fooled by the Liberal's coalition initiative.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35935973.post-39349919312675414722008-12-10T18:49:00.000-08:002008-12-10T18:49:00.000-08:00I'm with you AlexLooks to me as if the Harper Gang...I'm with you Alex<BR/><BR/>Looks to me as if the Harper Gang wants to keep campaigning on malice and fear. Great way to run a country.<BR/><BR/>And they claim the "coalition" is just a power and money grab.
