I felt that way at the thought of a Conservative government, and at the way the Liberals have been running scared for so long. I thought it was pathetically funny that Harper proved unable to goad the Liberals into bringing down the government when he finally wanted it brought down - so he had to bring it down himself.
However, now that the Opposition has shown they have a backbone however short and hard to find, I respect them a little better than I did before. That respect will grow if they manage to make this coalition work for any length of time. If they manage to put off the next election until at least next fall, I'll consider the endeavour to have been more success than failure, and if it manages to go longer than that, I'll be thrilled.
I think everyone is better off when politicians agree to govern the country through co-operation and dialogue.
