Let's see your degree on reading people's minds. There is no guarantee on anything, but I think there's a 50-50 shot of forming the government for either party. The fact is the Nervous Nellies have ruled the roost in the Liberal caucus, but I suspect you won't see that for much longer.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14477','Scott Tribe'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14477','Scott Tribe','Gee Colin.. where did you become a polling expert on how polls work or what the people think.. or voting intentions?

Simple fact is that Liberal support is over polled by about 5% with a corresponding under poll of conservatives. Check Alberta's election results and the bye election results from SK and BC last time around. West of the Sue, Kenora goes CPoC, Neville and Simard lose, leaving Keeper as the only Lib in MB. Goodale loses and SK goes all Tory, AB is a CPoC sweep and several more seat in BC. Including Quadra. 12 more seats in QC, combined with rural ON gives Harper a very strong minority, and with QC's penchant for voting with their wallets gives Harper a 50/50 shot at a majority. Spin all you like Liberals, if you had a chance the govt would fall.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14476','Colin'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14476','Colin','I think if the liberal\'s internals showed anything like a dead heat they would pull the plug.\r\n\r\nSimple fact is that Liberal support is over polled by about 5% with a corresponding under poll of conservatives.\r\n\r\nCheck Alberta\'s election results and the bye election results from SK and BC last time around.\r\n\r\nWest of the Sue, Kenora goes CPoC, Neville and Simard lose, leaving Keeper as the only Lib in MB.

No one seems to be concentrating on the REAL issues of governing a country. THis site in particular seems to be all about slamming Harper and ANYTHING he does and about polls that show in the favour of the liberals. I rarely see anything that will benefit the country as a whole. It seems to be all about how to bring the current government down and get back the liberals in power. Then what? I dont see the liberals screaming about how they are going to do things better? THe conservative sites are a bit better and that could be bacause the cons are in power but over all there is no meat in any of this. We have a minority goverment that has it hands tied to be able to do anything because the opposition has to block anything that has real potential because they just want to make harper look bad. these last few months have seen this site and the liberal party in particular do everything in thier power to dig up scum and dirt on harper and get something to stick ..yet nothing has which tells me that even though he is far from perfect that he is not doing a bad job. If all these sites are good for is to be NEGATIVE and they are..then they deserve no mention in the mainstream press. YOu want to do something positive for this country? Quit whining about how your party is not in power and get involved. Make suggestions and email your MP's and give them ideas for change..because right now everything i read on here and some conservative sites is PATHETIC!!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14466','Mike Harris'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14466','Mike Harris','I have been reading this site as well as many other blogging sites including conservative sites as well and one thing has become painfully aware to me.
