Of course, they're saying the same thing about you.

Michael O'Leary said:Ah yes, perhaps because they remember how well loved the Conservatives were the last time they graciously handed off the government to the Liberals. Perhaps the average voter is just confused and frustrated because there is no clear dominance by any party based on a history of perceived ethical leadership.
But maybe you wouldn't remember that.
Frederik G said:Let's just throw all our votes to the NDP.. or the Communist party. Heck, I'd vote for the Die Men Die party if it meant a change for the better.
from my perspective I don't really see anything that could be called a "platform"
Re: the GST
sure, one aspect of a platform, certainly doesn't tell me what a conservative government would do once in power.

Joe Blow said:edit: you edited in the "eat babies" thing ..I could have come up with a witty counter quip for that one.. you also edited in the defence and foreign policy and softwood stuff..
It's a little late for this where I am ..I need to sign off. Suffice it to say for now that it will be a long campaign ..and if anyone can tell me how to post the Conservative Party Policy Document (pdf) I'll stick it up there.

I still like their Unity policy,tear down the Rockies.
Michael O'Leary said:That's the problem - "thrown" votes don't win elections, they get spread too thin. Organized votes win elections, even if it's only with a minority government.
Now ask yourself this: if none of the other parties manages to organize sufficient votes; either through their campaign and/or by grass-roots support, and the Liberals do form another minority government, do you think the Canadian voter will support another non-confidence vote in the near term? (And please don't hide behind generalized insults about their intelligence, because it only makes me doubt yours.)
If you're so dead set against the Liberals, identify the clear alternative and build a case that will actually convince enough people to make a difference. Otherwise you're just blowing smoke and posting empty rhetoric.
Frederik G said:So, yes, maybe, I'm "posting empty rhetoric," but I'd rather post empty rhetoric that just might make one person change their mind, than not say anything and watch the Liberals steal and mismanage for four more years.
