coalition
9/12/2009 at 2:43 PM
So Harper was caught voicing a wish many have. We need a majority Government. Liberal or Tory I agree we need one. Iggy and company through the attacks are astounded that some one would wish that-the horror!
Iggy was and continues to be peeved at Harpers assertion that a coalition would be in the works by Iggy and company. As a hidden agenda charge that was seemingly invented by the left is a way of attacking a |Party or leader that comes straight out of the Liberal/NDP play book. I guess you do reap what You sow.
My thoughts are simple- IGGY can promise what he wants as the current Liberal leader. Yes I do believe him now when he says that he would never form a coalition!
He did the right thing after DION was turfed when the then Liberal leader signed on with those other parties. Iggy walked away from that blending of the three parties.
Harper can throw that hidden agenda comment as much as he wants against Iggy because I do not believe it. Once the election is over though and If Harper does win a minority or even if it is The liberals all bets are off if Iggy is replaced-as Liberal leader.
Any new leader ( the liberals are going through them quickly these last years) Can do a about face and form a coalition to retain power or get it.
When we vote this fall a coalition is in the cards- no if and or buts.
