Martin's deal with Layton only pisses me off cause I hate Layton so much. He's such a self serving bastard with that smug look on his face.
I have had the grave misfortune of working indirectly with Layton. I found him a complete scum bag and could not be trusted. He has to be the biggest self promoter I have ever met.
As far as the deal itself, that's what happens in a minority gov't. You make compromises to stay in power.
That being said, I think the liberals are cooked.
I predict another Joe Clark conservative minority. By that I mean that Harper will win a minority gov't but will be tossed on his ear within a year or two at which time the liberals will storm back into power under Brian Tobin and win a huge majority.
Paul Martin though sadly is finished.
