Dear election fairie

[jawnbc]

All I want for Xmas is this election cycle is another minority government, meagre enought for the Conservatives to be (possibly) circumspect, with enough New Democrats to hold the balance power instead of those fuckwit separatist scumbags asswipes shitstains.

Oh, and the Liberals as Betty's Loyal Opposition. Let Paul Martin Junior unpinch his "I hadda make same-sex marriage legal! I hadda!" nose and go back to the private sector, where mediocre leadership isn't nearly as damaging.

hey matey!

NDP: social democrats. never even the Official Opposition nationally; most seats 43. Currently 18. Only party that did not allow a free vote on same-sex marriage.

Bloc: Québec separatist party, only runs in Québec. Mostly social democratic, but a handful of right-wing members from rural ridings. Created in '90, sworn to only run candidates in one election cycle (93), 5 elections later...

Greens: 4% national vote, never a seat. Not a factor. oh and more pro-business than most other Green parties worldwide.

Liberals: centrist party, big-tent, more leftish, but solidly pro-business. Brought down human rights code and SSM legislation--but only after the courts compelled it, and even then they allowed the only 2 free votes on human rights issues in the last 30 years nationally. Not enemies but we are treated expediently.

Conservative: almagation of a British Tory (small government, libertarian) and regional social conservative (rural mostly) parties. Voted almost entirely against SSM. Many members, including leader, are evangelical Xtians.
