What a nice way of saying that there is no possibility of our party winning a majority in an election, furthermore if I fail again it will be my head on the block.  Therefore, there shall be no election.

“Prime Minister Stephen Harper said he will not try to trigger an election next year, saying the government needs to stay focused on the economy.

Like Anakin, but without the redemption in the end.

“I’m not going to cause an election,” Harper told CTV News in a year-end interview. “I’m not going to call an election and we’re not bringing forward some kind of poison pill to provoke an election. We are committed to governing. We don’t need an election.”

Good on ya Steve, adhering to the first rule of politics, maintaining power is admirable and duly noted.

“We’re in a fragile global recovery. Canada is in a very good position for the long term but we need to stay focused on that and not screw around with a bunch of political games.”

Political games?  Like dissent, debate and well you know that other ugly D word: Democracy.  We shan’t be screwing around with the likes of those things.

“Harper also said there will be no prorogation early in the new year. He said there would be a small cabinet shuffle but he was mostly happy with his team.”

Conveniently left open for prorogation at anytime because “early in the new year” could be January 2nd.  Stay tuned for more conservative tom foolery.
