Ottawa scandal update
Here's an update on the Canadian Liberal scandal: Paul Martin was practically begging for there not to be an election. He looked like a beaten man. He knows, however, that if he can delay an election he might be able to escape with another Minority Government, which means that after such an election, there would likely be another one within a year.To be fair, if the polls are correct they mean the Conservatives will have a Minority Government and they will have to rely on (of all things) the Bloc Quebecois to prop them up. That will likely mean that they, too will face an election within a year or less.
Stephen Harper is not the world's best Party Leader, and probably won't be the best Prime Minister. However, he isn't politically stupid. He knows that if he has a Minority Government, that Government must do what the Liberals could not-they must keep their noses clean. If the Tories keep their noses clean during a period of Minority, it may be the test to secure a long term Majority in the House of Commons.
