Plus the Liberals had a majority so the argument is very suspect. Not true at all – support and bribery are two different things.

That you are even more of a power hungry hypocrite. The Conservatives have asked the Bloc to support them during confidence votes before and they would do it again, except the rest of the country hates neoconservatism. Harper is in this mess because he refuses to change his agenda to one that gives him enough votes in parliament. “So what would you say if they gave the separatists $2 billion to get one, and outbid the NDP and the Liberals?” That you are even more of a power hungry hypocrite.

The conservatives do not have a majority. Honesty is an interesting subject. So what would you say if they gave the separatists $2 billion to get one, and outbid the NDP and the Liberals? I thought so... I agree. The conservatives do not have a majority.

A small but comfortable majority in a Westminster-style democracy. - So long as Quebec is part of Canada, and chooses to elect a non-national party, it will always be extremely hard for anyone to hold a majority. - Currently, the Conservatives clearly do NOT have a majority in Canada, and the coalition (provided they stay together) clearly DO have a majority. I am a Conservative, but I am also a supporter of democracy and honesty. The coalition is what most Canadians want. A couple of facts:

The election results I’ve seen say Conservatives lost 165,000 voters from 2006 and only received 143 seats (a minority). And I remind you that in Canada’s electoral system, people don’t vote for Leaders or Governments. The ballot has the name of the candidate and party. To vote For Stephen Harper you need to live in Calgary. “Canadians overwhelmingly voted for the Conservatives.” That’s news to me.
