Coalition?

I am not quite sure what to think of a coalition between the NDP and Liberals as I am not a big fan of the NDP but whatever happens I hope there won't be another election so soon after the last one.Hopefully something can be worked out between all or some of the parties,so that an election can be avoided and things can be accomplished in parliament.

Election results

The only thing I can say about the election results is that is wasn't quite so bad as I thought it would be at one point,although our own liberal Mp in Miramichi,for many years did get booted out.

I found this article and particularly the comments on it quite interesting,it seems while many people wouldn't vote for Mr Dion ,they still seem to think he is a honest and decent person.Regardless of what happens on Monday I am sure it will be an interesting time to be following politics in the next little while.

By-election.

I was very happy that Martha Hall Findlay got elected in the by-election,she seems like a smart person and I'm sure will be an asset in the future.That Bob Rae and Joyce Murray got in,is also great news but I think there is much work ahead if the liberals want to have any hope of winning the next election.

Compromise on war

I am glad to see some compromise on this issue since I wasn't very happy with the liberal position by times and would not be very pleased if they wanted to haul out the troops right away like the Block and NDP.

Dion writes letter to Montana governor

I really agree with Stephane Dion on this issue that the death penalty undermines the human dignity of everyone involved in it, putting a person to death for crimes they have committed takes those involved down to the same level as people that commit crimes and have no respect for anyones life or security as a person.

Political stuff

This article touches on some issues that were of interest to me recently.

Gst response

I thought Dion's reply to a question about liberal plans for the gst was quite good but obviously some other people didn't.If we are against decreasing it it now we have to at least consider the possibility we might raise it if we regain power,we need to stop thinking all the time about how we will get votes and spend some time thinking about what we actually believe in as liberals.

Confidence votes and the throne speech

I was think that the liberals should possibly support the throne speech depending on what was in it but if this is Stephen Harper attitude I don't think there is much point in doing so as there will be an election eventually if every vote is a confidence one except Afghanistan.

Changes for the Liberals

It will be interesting to see what changes there will be but I think it will take more than that to solve the problems in the Liberal party right now.We seem to have no vision at all and the people calling for Dion to resign must be crazy to think that would solve all the problems either,he might be a part of them but it's not all his fault or the fault of any one person and all the recent bickering is just making things worse.
