What's so unfortunate for the Conservatives about their promiced tax cut (And I'd imagine any other issue where they differ with the other parties on), can most likely be summed up in 2 reasons.
A) They will not form a majority government
B) All the other parties are throughly opposed on that issue.
End result? Unless they start funneling dough into Quebec (Effectively, buying the Parti Quebecois votes they need to pass a budget), they're just going to topple on the next non-confidence vote, with the Liberals and NDP opposed to anything Conservative by default (Let's put aside the part where the Conservatives are starting to look a lot like the Liberals)...
Which... Will just mean we'll have... Another election. Awesome, eh?
At this point in time, the only coalition I'd 'welcome' would be a Liberal/NDP one - provided the NDP stop rocking the boat. Which may well happen if the Liberals come out with more votes after this coming election. PQ + Conservatives won't last.
I'm hoping for either that, or a majority government from either the Liberals or Conservatives (Provided Harper keeps up the trend of blurring the party agenda lines).
Just some 25 cents from a upper-middle class University kid.
In regards to the sponsorship scandal:
I see it as a drop in the bucket. Would obviously love to see those responsible get roasted over it, but that's about it.
PS - Ashock, I'm kindly suggesting that you should be a bit less of a loose cannon with that anti-commie sentiment. If you just have to give flak, send it in direction of the NDP.
