Why Jack Layton Doesn't Want An Election

September 14, 2009 @ 09:49

If we're spared the futile exercise of another election this week, ironically it will be the doing of NDP leader Jack Layton.

Jack says if the Conservatives come around and adopt a couple of his ideas this week then he'll support them in any non confidence vote on Friday.

It's typical of Jack. In his position as leader of the number four part in the country he loves minority governments because it allows him to exercise the type of power he could never earn by winning an election.

But there's more to this one. Jack doesn't want an election call this week because he deathly afraid of what the election results may be. There's no doubt that the NDP will finish fourth again, what scares Jack is how badly they'll finish fourth.

Jack Layton's best-before date is grossly over-due and he knows if an election his held this fall the NDP could suffer their worst showing in history. He's done as leader of this party but he just won't admit, and he definitely doesn't want proof through an election.

There's no doubt that from a political stand-point Jack Layton would love to see the end of Stephen Harper. Harper stands for everything that Jack supposedly hates and Layton would love to put the Conservatives under his heel and crush them.

But not bad enough to expose his own futility.

Layton wants to come off as the only one that tried to prevent the election... the moderate voice. There is no way Harper is going to cater to this socialist, so Layton's only way to salvage anything from the situation is to be able to say "well I was willing to work with the government if they comprimised". Notice that it is Harper who has to comprimise, not Layton.

Layton has a lot to live down. The last election is still a fresh memory. He made a deal with traitors, then behaved like a rabid dog when the GG gave Harper his prorogue. So when the inevitable election comes this Friday and the NDP are the first to knock at my door I'll be asking serious questions about his power mania and lack of patriotism.

I remember the last time an election was called - he was front and centre with comments like "The PM doesn't want to do his job. Well, I want his job" or something like that.

He sounded like a whiney little bastard, and well...he looks creepy to boot.

Sorry, I'm not gonna vote for him.

I understand. It is usually incredibly difficult to know the difference between the 2 of these. They are both U . s haters, hell bent on its deterioration. The two of them criticize United states of america and Americans persistently. What follows is a hint, The president may possibly be the one actively doing well in killing The states.
