They fell down go Boom!

Well, the Liberal government of Canada has just fallen to a non-confidence vote in parliament. There has been scandal almost non-stop for a year and they would have gone down over the budget in the spring but one independent MP who was ill and undergoing cancer treatment went to the vote for the government side and another woman crossed the floor from the Conservatives. A real nail biter. The opposition has been wetting themselves to get a whiff of power but everyone at work feels that the Liberals will get back in again. Now we have to put up with an election campaign over Christmas!!! Sheesh. That annoyance alone will make everyone punish the opposition lol! What's even worse... they didn't show Coronation Street tonight because of the coverage! Bastards!

Let the mud slinging begin!

Still, you don't have to wait four freakin' years each time ;-)

At least yours only get to serve two terms... ours can go on and on, until they get ousted, usually by their own party! ;-)

Yes, that's true. Our system is very similar to yours though our upper house isn't an inherited thing. It's a political pig trough for patronage appointments :S

Not when it's a minority, no. On the other hand having an election every 2 years is a bit expensive as well.
