Having Iggy in power will make no difference at all - just a waste of money, just another guy and his own agenda in power rather than democratic governance. Now if we could do something really meaningful, we would stop having the conversation about Conservatives vs. Liberals (they are, in fact, one and the same) and start looking at independents and Greens and getting some more sustainable and free thinkers to represent us.Ms. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163483553786683993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682160518082145513.post-54926155039484834292009-09-20T08:33:18.492-04:002009-09-20T08:33:18.492-04:00"Instead, Ignatieff has just reinforced the v..."Instead, Ignatieff has just reinforced the view that there's something wrong with the idea of a coalition and that voters who reacted badly to something that was a shock when it happened and that was misrepresented by a lot of the voices who were shouting at them at the time, were right to do so.
