Liberal Arrogance

Shaken, Occasionally Stirred puts a great spin on what it means when the Liberals ignore the majority in parlament.

"The power dynamics of our Westminster system in Canada means that, unlike republican systems such as America's, we must rely - trust - that the elected portion of our government, the proxy of our individual powers, will follow certain conventions. These conventions are our only true political defense against despotism and totalitarianism. A government which steadfastly grasps power by ignoring these conventions telegraphs to the people a dark and frightening corner of its true nature - its core desire to plunge us into the abyss of totalitarian rule. Yes, I said totalitarian rule."
