NO.
The party is called the POT's ( Pissed Off Taxpayers)
I'm the initial leader with the puniker of POThead. Which if you knew me and my total non drug use you would appreciate the irony.

While the GG in theory has the power to do that, in practice the GG is expected to adhere to the customs and traditions that have been established. That is, ultimately, the foundation on which our whole democracy rests.dj1470 said:
What you are proposing is the dissolution of Canadian democracy--an activist monarch who rules independently not in accordance with historic precedent would quickly undermine the basis of the Canadian state. What next? Should the GG start negotiating foreign treaties paying no heed to the will of Parliament? Should the GG independently declare war on some country and order the army into the field? The GG in theory has the power to do those things too.
In all probability if the GG went rogue like that the Queen would be asked to replace the GG with someone who respects the constitutional customs and traditions on which Canadian democracy rests. If the Queen too went rogue we (and Britain) would have a very serious constitutional crisis.
None of that will come to pass--the GG will consult history books and try very hard to make a decision that is in line with the historic precedents, thereby preserving and strengthening Canadian democracy rather than undermining it.
If there was another election, would anyone vote independant? I don't see this giving the Conservatives a majority and since the Liberals abandoned central Canada a decade orso ago they all but can't, so unless we get some non-party affiliated members in there and a real coalition from the start we end up right back here.
well as compared to these morons, yes. First off, because Layton says The Tories have lost Canadian confidence, how can he back this up?? When did we go to the polls on a confidence vote?? We have a right to vote our government, not be told who is running the country.DonQuixote said:

Maybe that would explain why we've been such a great success. We have riches beyong compare, economic stability that is the envy of just about every other industrialized nation and a vanishingly low rate of violent crime compared to our peers. And you think this is just a circus? You need some perspective.dj1470 said:
I can't believe this CRAP!! The freakin Liberals/NDP/BLOC - TRAITORS that are trying to break up our country, are ganging together to oust a party that has the most votes? And the NDP/Liberals getting together with people that want to break up our country? What the f&^$ is that? I have voted Liberal in the past, but I will NEVER do so again with the way the Liberals have handled things. This is just insane! Why don't we allow Quebec to seperate? Maybe that is already part of the deal? What BS....I'm voting PC if there is a vote again. UNBELIEVABLE!
Oh yea...I was also thinking...let's waste another $200 million for another election. Thank you Bloc heads, NDP, and Liberals. I still can't believe the Liberals are part of this, Dion has led the party to disaster. Too bad it wasn't Ignatieff that was chosen the leader.
And what was your opinion when it was Harper, Laydon, and Duceppe proposing a coalition to replace the Liberal government back in 2004?hatztowork said:
Or is a motion of no confidence leading to a coalition govt. without an election suddenly democratic when the Conservatives are in the opposition?
Note in 2004 Harper teamed up with the SAME coalition partners the Liberals are courting now and proposed doing the SAME thing. He even wrote a letter to the Governor General asking her not to call an election if his non confidence motion carried.
The same!! That's why I didn't vote PC and I'd never vote NDP that's for sure!! All the freakin parties are brutal. They didn't go through with it though the last time arround, that is the difference.fuji said:
Individually, the Conservatives have more votes. Like I said, I used to be a Liberal voter until this happened. I know lots of Liberal voters that would rather vote Conservative rather than have anything to do with the NDP. I'm sure there are others that would say the opposite. If we look at it as the Liberals/NDP have more votes, why don't they just merge the two parties? I voted Liberal for a reason. I didn't vote NDP!shack said:

By the way, do any of the political parties condone legalizing prostitution? If not, maybe we should start our own party and if we win a few seats, we should ask for it to be legalized as part of a deal to form a coalition!! 
Anyways, wishful thinking!!
