I hate elections

[plonq]

I've been avoiding the debates and ads as much as I can, but it tends to filter its way down anyway.  Here is the filtered impression I get from each of the major parties.

Liberal: Blah blah blah Stephen Harper will eat your children, vote for us blah blah blah

Conservative:  Blah blah blah Paul Martin is a crook, vote for us blah blah blah

NDP: Blah blah blah Paul Martin is a crook, vote for anybody but him blah blah blah Wait!  We meant vote for us!  Uh... medicare!  Blah blah blah

BQ: Blah blah blah Quebec Quebec Quebec Quebec Quebec blah blah blah

The problem that I have as a voter is that they all strike me as self-serving little men with nary a scrap of vision or credibility between them.

Yep! I remember it though.

That's the thing - just last year Harper was talking about converting the Senate to being elected (which would work in his favour, of course), and he and other Con MPs were complaining about how it's inappropriate for the Supreme Court to override 'elected politicians' and 'subverting democracy'...

Now he's ok with this?

I think not.
