LT is helping with the election campaign of the Liberal candidate in his riding, and so he was understandably happy with the news that the Liberals may be looking a fourth majority government.
But while a bounce in the polls is good news for the grits, I think it's bad news for the country.
Goverments are like underwear and should be changed on a regular basis, that applies to the Liberals in Owtawa and the Conservatives in Edmonton.
Minority governments can be good for the country, they force people to be creative and work together, allowing more voices to be truly heard in the house of commons.
Jack Leighton has promised support for a proportional representation system would be an NDP demand to work with the Liberals in a minority situation. First past the post is an unhealthy system, you can win 80% of the seats in the house with less than 50% of the votes. A proportional system would significantly reduce the regional politics we have now, allowing Liberals to be elected in the west (a least a few) and conservatives to be elected in Ontario.
- Peace
