Is this just a game of math so that they only need 2 MPs to cross the floor for a majority?

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

I think so?

I would also mean that if there are absent MPs, they may be able to pass legislation without any opposition support.

I swear I like the conservatives have just been elected.

Between this and the postal service workers saying they might privatize the postal services? Like wtf.

I don't forsee another wave like this for the liberals. This was about 1 thing only - keeping Pierre out of office. The general public will forget by next election. There must be a good leftist candidate by then.

Liberal politics are that of free market capitalism. They are supporting the same systems that have been hurting us for a while now, just with a rainbow flag behind them. Obviously fascists are worse but our decline is going to continue under the Liberals because they're fundamentally incapable of challenging the systems that are responsible for our problems.

LPC as it is right now is quite conservative.

We voted for them because the PCs were running on a platform of stripping us of our rights.

This also inadvertently spelled the downfall of the NDP and damn near annihilated the greens. We are now effectively a two party country for the time being.

This is pretty terrible, but at least we didn't vote for authoritarianism. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

It should be a liberal mp.
