Actually, has anyone noticed that just in this thread alone, it would seem that the deviding line between those who agree with banning floor crossing and those who don't does not seem to follow any particular ideological bent?
Heck, it's an NDP MP who proposed this bill, meanwhile, I, somewhat right-leaning but wtill with many left-leaning views oppose it; Colpy, unquestioningly right-leaning, supports it; and Durry, quite possibly equally right-leaning also, opposes it.
Banning floor-crossing would essentially put an end to any kind of debate that cannot be pigeon-holed into one particular party ideology or another.
Just something to think about.
