We need to defund the party system so MP's represent the voters. No more dollar per vote going to the party hacks. The whole article assumes that politics is a horse race.

Politicians love mega projects that produce nothing. I like the idea of holding government responsible. People campaigning should sign contracts which they are required to fulfill if elected.
The economics of government is backwards. A department that fails to spend its budget gets cut later. But where did you get that billion Harper?

Mulroney makes Karlheinz seem like a nice honest bandit. A few traces of gunpowder, but no slime.

Humans don't know the future. Get used to it.
Loser is an epithet. Any elected MP is a winner in this democracy, sent to Ottawa by the people to help govern this great country. The party system has no basis in law, only tradition.
If you still like the term loser, since there is no majority government, Harper is a loser too. Do a bit of studying about how the Westminster system of government works. If the voters understood this we would have good government, and would have avoided the last stupid election.

Merger isn't a good idea because the Liberals have no principles, while the NDP does. Canada's best social legislation came from Liberals stealing CCF policy; Medicare, UI , etc. Conservatives go pay your own doctor bills.
A coalition would be a fine thing. That is the way the Westminster system is intended to work, in spite of Harper's lies about Canadians electing him to be PM. He got a few votes in his riding, that's all. Furthermore he should not have bullied Michelle Jean into calling the last unnecessary election, and she should not have let him.
