    What a joke? Why do they bother?

    If it weren't for the money, why don't they just give up and leave the effective opposition to the NDP.


    So little has changed.
    Rex Murphy laid bare the price the Dion Liberals can expect to pay for their forced irrelevance in his rant on The National last night:

    �The House of Commons only exists for two reasons: for MPs to vote in favour of stuff they like and vote against stuff they don't. They can, incidentally and have been, whipped for both. But when a party has to flog its members to make sure that they don't vote at all: neither fishing nor cutting bait, then why are they in the House of Commons in the first place? 'Elect me to the House of Commons as your member and you can count on me to duck all the major votes.' Doesn't work for me.�

    By effectively giving Stephen Harper his majority government by sitting out confidence votes, the Liberal Party is not only being irresponsible, they are also confirming ALL of their major weaknesses � that Liberal MPs are ineffective; that the Liberal Party is doesn�t know what it stands for; and that Dion is a weak leader.

    No one is going to wade in and tell us why the Canadian voter isn't getting their money's worth? maybe even the Liberal supporters are sick of their on party after this sort of sloppy act.
