I'm doing my best to be fair here....
The ONLY possibility of replacing Harper is with a Liberal/NDP coalition.......that means Iggy as PM (shudder), Jack Layton as deputy PM (double-shudder) in a government completely dependent on the Bloc for its survival. (Dig up the rifles and clean 'em)
That would be a nightmare..........
The Conservatives are going to run their next campaign on one single fulcrum..........their message will be......
"In this election, a majority government is inevitable.......the choice of the people of Canada is simple......a Liberal/NDP/ Bloc coalition majority.....or a Conservative majority."
It is a good strategy, IMHO.
I'll be fair....at the moment there is no replacement for Harper. Out of them all I have the most confidence in him.
Won't vote con though, for only one reason.
My local candidate is a douche.;-)
