Will the Liberals return as the Natural Governing Party?
- Thread starter Vancouverite
- Start date
Trudeau is just a figurehead. The Liberal party will still be run by the back room boys making deals to their own advantage, granting favours to their cronies and pulling the wool over people's eyes.
There is definitely corruption in all parties to a degree but the Liberal party is the most corrupt ever.
These days nobody of character and good conscience would consider entering into politics as a career. It is a dirty, nasty game where nothing matters but power and anything is acceptable to achieve that power. That is why the country, even the whole world is in such a mess. There is nobody with a moral compass in charge anywhere.
Harper is the nearest thing we have seen in Canada for decades. His party may have flaws but he has remained squeaky clean himself. He has been sabotaged from within his own party over every scandal that he has had to face. Because he delegated and was betrayed.

Don't be stupid.....Harper has not yet found a way to do away with the freedom to vote which certainly did not originate with him. If he could have, he would have done away with it.
And you don't think Harper ruled the PC party members with an iron fist??? Every politician is on a power trip, and unless the public can distinguish between what they say and what they might possibly do for us, we are lost and will go the way so many other democracies have gone world wide in recent years.
Thailand. Many promising democratic starts, resulting from an election, overseen by the UN or other world organization, resulted in the elected politician fixing it so he or she became permanent ruler with no further elections.
Try counting how many of the countries around the world are actual democracies. And many of those are not strong ones.
I'm far less concerned with them paying back $90k than I am with them stealing it in the first place.
Same goes for the NDP and Cons.
To a degree? Corruption is corruption. It's like pregnancy, you either are or you aren't. If they are all corrupt why support any of them? Vote independent or Libertarian
Well if yo keep voting for corrupt people and parties you cannot expect things to change.
He has thrown so many of his henchmen under the bus the wheels no longer touch the ground. Anyone can sustain the illusion of 'squeaky clean' if their staff are willing to take the bullet. John Gotti was squeaky clean using this same strategy.
Harper is not known to delegate, he gives orders. As such it is quite obvious he just used people to take the fall in order to maintain his image. If you happen to be correct and he knew nothing about any of it is he really qualified to be a leader when he cannot control his people, has no idea what they are doing and has so obviously used such poor judgement as to surround himself with criminals?
Clearly they won't. This election was theirs to win. They had a Drama Teacher who can't keep his foot out of his mouth and a PM who the left does not like as his opponents. Yet people would not vote for them. The NDP is toast as anything more than a #3 opposition party (unless they find a way to bring Jack Layton back from the dead).
The "Natural Governing party" is just a self serving condescending tag line which the Liberal party is so famous for....
