Stating facts does not make one sour. For the record, if you have a majority in the house, you have a majority government. Regardless of popular vote. I know these are difficult concepts for conservatives to wrap there heads around, case in point; trying to run rough shod through parliment when holding the minority of the seats. Ask any NDP, BQ, or Green supporter; if they had to choose between a Liberal government or a Reform government, which would they choose? You know the answer. So does Harper. I think its quite clear that a conservative government will never be able to gain a majority in the house again due to our social and economic climate. their ideologies are antiquated and out of touch with the average Canadian, who has excepted that evolution is a fact, not a theory. I'm not whining at all by the way, the only people whining are conservative supporters who don't think its 'fair' that a coallition is willing to work together for the GREATER GOOD. What a concept!!! Jan. 26th can't come quickly enough!
