They just don't get it

They don't get it. They just don't get it. 'Gotcha politics' continues in the close federal race of Vancouver South. The former NDP premier of BC, now Liberal MP fighting for his political life, is pulling out all the stops. His current party is a master at this and they are desperate indeed. But they are putting another nail into the coffin of Canadian politics (which might in fact be a good thing). People get turned off, throw up their hands and disengage. The political elites in power (whether Conservatives or Liberals) secretly like this as it enhances their power. But it is a slap in the face of democracy.

The dirty secret only political junkies are aware of is that the Liberal Party of Canada is in its death throes. This was so even before this election. Their support keeps getting smaller and more geographically limited (to the GTA). If they were somehow able to form government, what do you think their first priority will be? Their party or the country? They will use every old trick they know to save themselves and destroy their opposition.
The old Liberal establishment is quaking in their boots at the thought of being displaced by the NDP!
