With an election possibly around the corner it looks like the Prime Minister is seeking a majority government. Or at least that’s what he’s saying to supporters in private… Make sure you check out the video, it’s about 10 minutes long.
“Let me be clear about this, we need to win a majority in the next election campaign,” Harper said. “I am not just saying that because we need to win a few more seats.”
He said that if the Conservatives don’t succeed in getting a majority he predicted the Liberals will govern in a coalition with the NDP and the Bloc Québécois.
“If they get together and force us to the polls, we have to teach them a lesson and get back there with a majority, and make sure their little coalition never happens,” said Harper.

Err can someone tell Mr. Harper that when you have a minority government, you have to make alliances or coalitions for every confidence measure. Big words from a man who wanted to do the same when he was in the opposition… Anyway yeah as I’m sure you know I don’t like the current Conservative government, they remind me too much of the Republicans in the US. The Liberals aren’t much better but at least Mr. Ignatieff didn’t start Liberal campaign advertising with attack ads and mud slinging.
