On Mr. Harper 2

... That was my thinking a few months ago- Mr. Harper playing the smart political game by moving the party to the center... bumping the Liberals into the crowded left-field... getting the good majority... and then, smoothly drifting back into the right lane...
... Except that it won't happen... compromise is a slippery slope.
... I have every certainty that Mr. Harper will remain PM for as long as he chooses; however, beyond token tinkering, it is unlikely that his time will be in any significant way distinguishable from a generic Liberal government...
