From the original report in Post 1:

Putting Conservatives "on probation" is a prime example of what happens when a tactic is too clever by half. Instead of putting pressure on the Prime Minister, it creates a periodic test the Opposition leader can only pass by forcing what may be an untimely election.
Ignatieff compounded the error by ignoring Rule 2. Threatening to bring Conservatives down before Parliament's summer recess was only sound as long as Liberals, and particularly their leader, were ready for a campaign. They weren't and Stephen Harper shrewdly called the bluff, sending two parties in different directions.
Yeah I thought Iggy would Pop.
I thought he was a hell of a lot better then Dion, but not by much.... just another old fuddy duddy in a suit who has no concept of reality other then what he says in front of a camera.
^ Here's a question... if he folded because people didn't want an election, how come he didn't pull out the Coalition Card again? Didn't he say that was still on the table?
He runs around the country, prancing and finger pointing, talking about he's gonna change the government, how he's gonna control Harper and his shenanigans, he's gonna be the tough guy.... whooo hoooo.... you go girlfriend.
Yet what do we end up with?
The same old Good Cop / Bad Cop BS that's plagued our country since it began.... Conservatives and Liberals taking their turns in the spot light to do their little acting for the country and screwing up to the point where nobody seems to know which party is the most incompetent, so we keep getting them both sharing power with one another, yet acting like they don't like each other.
Reminds me of the Democrats and Republicans.... acting tough and standing up for the little fella on camera, yet when it comes down to crunch time, it's the same old crap.
I bet we'd probably get the Libs and Cons to snap sh*t if we all just voted in a totally different party into power and end this shared monopoly. They already know that whether they win or lose an election, they'll either be in first or second place..... so it really matters not to them.
And they already have the propaganda machines running for so long now in regards to voting anything other then Liberal or Conservative..... ooooOOoooo.... Booga booga, nobody apparently can do a good enough job compared to them afterall.... as if all their screwups were a good job.
And when you only have two parties running the country since the dawn of our nation and everybody seems to just keep picking them over and over again, because anything else
"Will just be a throw away vote", then what sort of democracy is that?
Sounds like an illusion that makes us think we really have a choice.
Or maybe we just like these choices because we can predict how we're going to be screwed over each year.
*shrugs*I'd much rather actually take a chance. I could vote for the same recycled parties like everybody else and expect my routine of being taxed to hell, or having programs cut, or stupid moral laws forced apon me for my own good..... or I could vote for someone else.
Is there a risk of the same thing happening? Sure
Is there a risk that they could screw things up even worse? Sure
But there is also the chance that they might actually do things better and do them right.
I already know what to expect with the other two, and things haven't been improving all that much imo.... in fact it would seem our government has been getting more and more dysfunctional and dividing the nation further and further.
Harper did a wonderful job in this by blaming "Quebec Seperatists" over the Coalition because of dealing with the Liberals..... yet the Conservatives tried a similar thing with the Bloc against the Liberals.
Thus the cycle continues.
