Does the Labrador Vote mean anything to the Conservatives?
According to Jack Layton - no.
Jack says he wants the Budget passed, his portion of the Budget then the gloves are off with the Liberals. A win in Lab will not ensure this. The Cons and Bloc control the Financial Committee so he is sucking up to the wrong Party, not that it would do anything anyway.
For the Libs and Cons its just bragging rights now.
The Cons will gain an extra vote with the NDP unless they the NDP are lie-ing about turning on the Libs when their Budget votes do not pass, will have the NDP caucus voting THEIR way in upcoming votes. Try to remember that the Corporate Tax removal from the Budget has not taken place, an NDP requirment to support the Libs. The removal requires an amendment submitted to the Cons and Bloc in the Financial Committee from the Libs and must be passed by the Blocs and Cons - fat chance. So the NDP if they live up to THEIR word and are not lie-ing have to go against the Libs.
The Libs just gain one extra vote IF the NDP are lie-ing about supporting the Libs.
Then and only then will a Lib or Con win in Labrador mean anything.
It all boils down to if the Jack and the NDP are Lie-ing.
I say the NDP still do not count. They are either lie-ing in which they will not count to the electorate and get pounded by all Parties as lie-ing, or they are telling the truth and will support the Cons from now on.
fragmented muse before wifes Remicade infusion, goddo go.
cheers :) majere
