According to the recent polls, The NDP have not only passed the BQ to take the lead in Quebec, but they have inched passed the Liberals nationally to seize the number two spot.
The BQ scenario going on in la belle Province is a pretty good one. It's never a bad thing to weaken a regional party's base. The big problem though is that Jack is feathering his bed at the Liberal's expense. Whether you like the Liberals or not, this is a bad thing.
If there is a hope in hell for the reality of a successful coalition government, the two left-centrist parties need to cooperate together to sway voters away from the Cons. Swapping votes among themselves does little to nothing to help the coalition cause. And if you look at the recent polls, as the NDP inch ahead, so do the Cons.
So Jack, yes you are being successful at luring some voters out from under the "Big Red Tent", but your overtures to the voices of sanity are hurting more than they're helping. What good is finishing number two if a coalition is an impossibility? Do you really think the BQ will work with you after you've destabilized them? You are driving them into the arms of the Cons along with creating the stronger possibility for a "dark-coalition".
So I say again Jack and Iggy, it matters not which of you two finishes second. What matters is knocking the dictatorial Harper off the top of the hill. HIS is the base that needs destabilizing. You both need to appeal to the segment of society that for some reason seem to feel that an undemocratic regime is better for them on a day to day basis then a very democratic coalition government.
There may well be a segment of Canadian society that is so uninformed as to not realize just how black-hearted the Harper-Cons are in reality (though with all the media attention they are getting for their indiscretions, it's hard to believe). That needs to be emphasized and reemphasized again and again. It's not being a broken record, it's a repetition of a truth that Canadians NEED to understand and firmly grasp.
Canadians need to understand just how untrustworthy the Cons are and that having an untrustworthy government in power is NOT a more stable option than a trustworthy and democratic coalition. But Canadians won't realize this if the parties who would form that coalition government are unstable among themselves. If the NDP and Liberals are taking pot-shots at each other, it does not inspire confidence in the coalition alternative.
So gentlemen, STOP talking negatively about each other. It creates an atmosphere of instability in the minds of the voters and drives them all the more to the Cons. If anything, you should be singing each other's praises and highlighting that a combination of the two parties working hand in hand is the only way to maintain the country as we know it.
Canada, our society of acceptance, inclusiveness and equality for all is in danger of being eroded out of existence. It is in danger of being replaced by a closed-minded, exclusive and intolerant society of fearful chattel. A society where the individual doesn't matter nearly as much as the large multi-national corporation or the local Evangelical mouth-piece.
So gentlemen, if you care as much about our country as you say you do, for god's sake stop the petty, internal, gutter-sniping. You destabilize our society with every vote you steal from the other. You need to work together to get the message out to Canadians just how important this election is. And you need to show them that the two of you are willing to work together for a stronger and more democratic Canada. And you need to do this NOW! There may not be a second chance.
