Current Government Toppled

What are they thinking?  I'm not a Conservative, and I have no political affiliation.  As such, I consider myself to be more of an innocent bystander, likely to get hit by the shrapnel caused by this silly little battle, that will likely have the opposition parties standing back at the end of the day saying - talk about your all time backfires.
These jokers had already decided in advance that they were going to have a non-confidence vote based on the budget, days before there even was a budget.  What a farce!  Is there actually a single one of the opposition parties that thinks they are going to have more seats after this election than they had before?  I think of the Prime Minister in the same way that you view a hockey ref or an umpire - the best compliment on the way that you did your job is not having anybody talking about you after the game.  If nobody noticed you, you did a good job.  We finally have a Prime Minister that isn't constantly drawing fire from inside and outside of the country.  If nobody's complaining, he can't be that bad.  Isn't "not that bad" about the best that we can hope for?  We've had some terrible ones in the past, that we've all complained bitterly about.  This might just be one of the few times that I will agree with the old "don't fix what ain't broke" theory.  My early call on this election is that the Conservatives will win more seats than they had before, and just enough to give them a majority government.  I can easily see some folks voting against their normal allegiances, just to see Harper get his majority, and stop this silly pissing contest among the opposition.
And another thing, you may have noticed that I'm not big on Americans, or anything American.  But, I can see some definite benefits in the fact that they have a set election day.  Like it or not, that's the end of that particular regime, and it's time for an election.  Plain and simple.  I like it.  None of this non-confidence crap, that is dripping of collusion, doesn't have anything to do with the latest budget, and has no purpose other than sending us to the polls when there is no need.

Smarten up, you silly opposition idiots!
