The Upcoming Election

The upcoming election they all say. What election I ask?  Does anyone really believe that Mr. Harper a master strategist, will allow an election that is not overwhelmingly predicted to produce a majority for his conservatives?  Does anyone really imagine that the twin egos of Jack Layton and Micheal Ignatieff will be able to set aside their own personal glory to join forces to defeat the Harper conservatives?

Even now, with the management of the swine flu crisis being the first specular failure on Mr. Harper’s part, neither Layton nor Ignatieff can bring themselves to bring this government down.
