NDP Rising, Conservatives Declining

[FiveParadox]

bluealberta, I repeat to you, this has been done before and is one of the defining principles of the Westminster system. The Government is not decided by popular vote; but rather, by the party that is most able to secure the confidence of the House of Commons. There would be no point in having appointed a Prime Minister who would have had the House fall immediately.

Okay, stop twisting my words.
I am not a spokesperson for the Liberal Party of Canada. I was putting forward only a scenario, not the "Liberal plan of attack." I see no reason for you to be personally attacking me, calling me a hypocrit, for having stated a scenario in keeping with the history of Parliament.

Five's point is interesting, but moot.

Layton would look like a complete hypocrite if he supporting a Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition after categorical stating that the Liberals needed a "time out".

For Duceppe, it's personal. He clearly doesn't like Martin, and Martin doesn't like him.

You will NOT see a Liberal-NDP-Bloc co-alition government after the 23rd. It's HIGHLY unlikely at this juncture that the Liberal-NDP could do it between just the two of them... and even if it were possible, I doubt that Layton would do it.

On the Prairies, the Conservatives have 61 per cent support, while the NDP and Liberals have 17 per cent support each.

haha....the Fiberals have numbers comparable to the NDP on the praries....I hope that Alberta and our little brother to the east (Saskatchewan) paint the praries bright Tory blue on the 23rd......Mclellan will loose her seat ....and Goodale will be in for the fight of his short stalky life.

Picture this: Conservatives and Liberal neck and neck...then we hit Manitoba...but it gets worse with Sask, and then Alberta....and to cap it all off a strong showing in BC (25 ish seats).

oh yea and I forgot to mention (in my perfect scenario) ........not only do the Liberals loose the election, but Paul Martin looses his seat in Quebec...thus ends up crying in his defeat speech!
:laughing3: :hello1:

Hehe, I didn't mean to say that my scenario was likely, only possible.

And that it is. (In the strictest sense of the definition of the word "possible," lol.)
