Harper misleading Canadians

A View From The Left: Harper is Deliberately Misleading the Canadian People

By trying to claim that what the opposition is doing is "anti-democratic" and that he is the only one that Canadians have selected to be Prime Minister Harper is deliberately misleading the Canadian public. He is hoping that the public doesn't have enough understanding of the Constitution and will therefore not support a coalition government. While the average joe can be excused for thinking that this is anti-democratic because they don't fully understand how government works, Harper has no such excuse. He knows that in the British Parliamentary system we elect MPs, not leaders as they do in the States, and that who forms the government depends on which MPs choose to work together. While this is often one party, this can be done with many party's in a coalition, it's happened before in Canadian politics and there is no reason to think that it shouldn't happen again. Harper's choice to not only willfully ignore these facts but to suggest to the public that the opposite is true is nothing more than a disgusting attempt to cling to power using any means possible.
