I don't think a man who despises our institutions as much as Harper does really should be given unfettered access to power.

Well, he doesn't hate all of the institutions (the Crown, for example), and I don't really think he would make much in the way of change if he was the one calling the shots, with the institutions working pretty much completely in his favour.

He certainly despises Parliament, and Parliament is his boss. I won't vote for a man who doesn't stand by our constitution. He is not worthy of my vote.

Well, the thing about that is...I dislike his less than the rest. This isn't a case like Paul Martin, where I was completely supportive. This is Harper....and, even if he's hard to like, he's better than the alternative.

Come on. He is no different from Chretien on that front. The only difference is Chretien did not have to answer parliment because he controlled it. There is something about our electoral system that turns control freaks into long term leaders.

The only good Harper has done, from a democratic level, is to force the Speaker to produce some key rulings that will influence not just future Canadian parliaments, but indeed parliaments the Commonwealth over. I still won't vote for Harper, just like I didn't vote for Chretien.

Would you vote for Komrad Layton?
