Wow. Big news. Belinda Stronach former contender for the Reform ...er Alliance ... er Conservative Party Leadership has cross the floor to become a LIBERAL. For you Americans out there it is as if John McCain suddenly announced he was becoming a Democrat.
I mean this is HUGE! I always wondered why she was consorting with those wingnuts in the first place since her social positions were often more in alliance with the Liberals ... but I digress.
A move like this has MAJOR implications for the uncoming non confidence vote in the House of Commons. I can just imagine Harper right now with his panties in a bunch and that image makes me very happy. This bastard is taking my country right to the brink and I want him to SUFFER, and if this defection does that, then I am a happy voter.
Because of Belinda's defection we are now faced with this scenario. 152 Conservatives vs 152 Liberals and 3 count em 3 independants to decide whether our government falls or not. One of those independents is going to back the Liberals saving the government the other 2 are UNCOMMITTED. Talk about power. Talk about close calls.
I have no idea how this is going to shake out but I am pulling HARD for the Liberals. I do NOT want to risk the chance that Canadian Neocons could squeek out a victory over this. I think the Liberals are holding a strong hand tho and IF our government falls I will do EVERYTHING in my power to punish the Conservatives for doing this to us. The best thing going for the Liberals right now is momentum and the fact that the Conservatives are being forced to vote against the most popular budget in years in order to bring this government down. People aren't going to be very happy about that and I'm guessing the Liberals will be able to capitalize on that.
Your move Stephen. Make it a good one .. your moves so far haven't been very, well, ummm, thought out, not to mention successful. Serves you right for your blatant opportunism. But the tides has turned .... hasn't it?
