The Liberals seem hell bent on forcing an election. They’ve done this a number of times in the past few years. If they force an election when Parliament returns – we will have spent over $1.2 billion on elections that haven’t changed things subtantively. In other words, we will have wasted $1.2 billion in taxpayers money to soothe the egos of the parliamentarians.
I understand the concept of Her Majesties Loyal Opposition but we have opposition parties who have voted down everything that the government has proposed even if it was good for the country and was something they would propose. The NDP has voted against the government over 72 times in this period just because they can, they know that the bill will pass and their constituents will benefit anyhow. I do not call that being a responsible representative of the people.
The Bloc is Quebec centric and couldn’t give a hoot about Canada so they are taking money for doing nothing good for the country. Soon a large number of NDP and Bloc members will be vested in their generous pension plan – but they need to be MP’s until around July 2010 – whoops, they seem to have screwed up.
It would be entirely appropriate to work with the governing party cooperatively, now they won’t get everything they want but there would be pressure on the government to respond to this cooperation otherwise the people would let them know they are jerks.
My solution and suggestion is that we send a bill to each MP for $1 million to be paid out of their personal funds so that we can fund this next election and not waste tax dollars to get the same results. We are getting tired of living crisis to crisis when it’s just for the vanity of the political leaders.
If they do force an election over nothing we should punish the opposition parties severely and throw those bums out on their respective asses.
