I’ve always understood that you never refer to the Prime Minister by only their name, that’s just rude and lacks any class. It wasn’t “Justin” or “Trudeau”, it was Prime Minister Trudeau or Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The cons are really the party of the uneducated and no manners. They’ll get in for a term, fuck it up and get tossed out. How it always works.
The problem is setting up a system where leaders can not be influenced by business and can not stack the deck to have an advantage after they leave office. Both things that no politician would ever implement.
It’d be great if the party that fucks up the hardest didn’t over-react to trivial stuff in the hopes of garnering enough hate for the wrong party that idiots will vote out the boneheads and elect the actual criminals.
Except Harper. He got in with a minority. Fucked around a little, prorogued parliament under threat of a coalition that would have shifted him into the minority, won that election with a majority, then fucked around even more for 5 years.
Then, he got voted out.
Pwah-lie-every was Harper’s protégé. Expect every shenanigan there is.

So many loud uneducated buffoons.

Wouldn’t it be weird if at least one party didn’t fuck up and get tossed out every time.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were no political parties at all? No jockeying for power, no backroom deals, no “donor dinners”?

Banning party whips would be a good start

But here we are, and that’s what’s gonna happen.
