I see the whole deal with the NDP this way:
Conservatives withdraw their support in the belief they can force an election and win power.
NDP sees an opening to get some of their issues dealt with but offering support to the Liberals.
Liberals, eager to stay in power, take the deal.
Conservatives and Conservative voters, throw their hands up in disgust.
Small number of Liberal supporters shake their head and wait to see how this all plays out.
Larger number of Liberal supporters shrug and say, "This is how minority governments are supposed to work."
NDP voters agree that this is how minority governments are supposed to work and wish they had more seats so they could truly hold the balance of power.
The majority of people want Gomery to finish. Sure we are all pissed about this. But that is no reason to run off and hold an election (yes, I know Martin did last summer but technically he had no mandate and the commission had only just started - I see no reason to interrupt the inquiry at this time).
I guarantee if Harper forces the election now, it will jump up and bite him in the ass...
