they want to rely on a party who will only have that one province's interests to worry about and not all the other provinces and territories altogether
| Wow. That sounds great. Sign me up. I want that too.
Lets face it. The Bloc Party garnered less popular support than the NDP but managed to secure 50 seats to the NDP's 37. It is what it is. A purely regional party with national status and the ability to influence national outcomes although it only runs candidates in its home province and has no vested interest in the success of Canada as a whole. Give me a break.
This election was a waste of taxpayers money. But the truly sad thing about this election is the voter turnout. When barely half of all eligible voters turn out, I don't think anybody can claim a victory. But maybe thats just me.
And a little OT, but not really..just more to do with my province, I've been hearing people today talk about how we now have NO voice at the table, since we didn't vote any Conservatives in, and that we basically threw our vote away. Well what happened when we supposedly had voice the last time? Nothing. There was no voice in parliament. Thats why there was a huge backlash against The Conservatives when those elected last time did not stand up for this province against Harper. What a joke. Atleast we have some people who, despite not being in the Conservative Party, actually have a voice and will use it. |
