Sticky:
I would vote liberal if they were more conservative, I would vote conservative if they were a little bit more liberal. I agree with the NDP -in theory. In theory communism works. My point is that there isn't a party that I fully support. I don't support the NDP or the Liberals enough to vote for them. I agree though, that you need to vote for a party that you support, even if they can't win. All those people who I told that a vote for the NDP was a wasted vote can laugh in my face now that Layton has so much leverage on Martin.
OFKU0:
The Liberals are ineffective and inept. And Harper is taking them to task, as he should be. But by applying pressure, as he is, it allows the Liberals excuses. For example, the claim that if conservatives force an election, the inquiry would have to be stopped or postponed. Or Martin not going to Holland because he needs to be present if a vote of non-confidence arises wouldn't be an issue if Harper doesn't put the vote on the table.
I will likly vote conservative in the next election, but every platform has its detractions. I support same-sex marriage and am pro-choice. I'm not religious, and the many of the christian stances of the (Reform, Alliance...Conservative?) have no place in politics. I also don't see much point in the american missile defense program. I support good border relations but I would be scared of a conservative prime minister of jumping into the back pocket of Bush.
