Will there be a conservative majority this century?
- Thread starter CDN87
- Start date
I think that he will have to articulate his vision of Canada and not keep yapping about what the other guys did..We have been in a constant state of election campaign since the last vote, and I personally am pretty tired of it.
Minority governments are constantly in "a state of election campaign" by very definition.
Remember Martin promising everything to everybody?
If you want to see a government actually rule, give the Conservatives a majority.
The Liberals simply haven't had enough time to clean house.......I had (and maintain) hopes that Dion will do so, but the inclusion of Jean the Don as an advisor raises doubts, to say the least.
I'm afraid I can't disagree, a majority will be very difficult for the Conservatives...........but Hope springs eternal...........
I posted this in another thread talking about the coming election. Does anyone think that this would have any value? I discussed it with a friend yesterday and we both thought that it may help governments get an idea of political demographics.
"Just an idea... There should be an area on the ballot where voters can make their 'second choice' if desired. This would not translate into seats or anything. It would just be interresting to see what secondary parties would get support and conversly, which party secondary party voters would choose. Many voters want to vote for other parties, but feel that it is a waste, so they vote strategically (i.e. vote Liberal to keep the conservatives out or vice-versa). This would allow for their second choices to be voiced."
