haha wow, this sure worked for them eh? bahahahahHARPER RULES

If Jack Layton helped to elect a conservative I thank him.

Jack Layton & Louise Lorefice want to give Central Nova electors the choice of voting NDP. By doing this, they've more than likely taken away our chance of getting Green Party leader Elizabeth May as our MP, by splitting up the left votes, and ensuring a stronger Conservative government with Peter MacKay as our MP. Thanks for respecting my choices, Jack Layton. Thanks a million.Kim

The conservatives have done a good job of running the country so I will vote for them.The green are just too crazy about global warming for me. Mankind totally accounts for about 3% of the total CO2 released and Canada's portion is so small that even if we stopped everything forever, it would not register on the scale.With that in mind I find the green way over the top and could hurt the country.

Or she is aware of just how bad the cons will be for this country, and is aware that splitting voters between liberals and green could let the cons back in. and she didn't really attack layton but says he needs to look past parties to what will be best for canada in this case NOT letting the cons back in.

and who are you supporting?

May compares this to Ralph Nader and Al Gore versus George Bush. She then goes on to attack the NDP's and Jack Layton. Who is she calling George Bush - Harper, Layton, or anyone who runs against? This alliance has only made the Green Party look as dirty as the Liberal Party.

Words like liar and fraud should never be used by anyone. This just shows poor manners.

When he is campaigning, Harper is a candidate, not the Prime Minister. If he or any other candidate lies or promotes fraudulent policies they need to be called on it.

The concept of the green party is out dated as the major parties all have green plans. Elizabeth May is the most ill mannered person I have ever seen on TV. Dion runs a close second to her.What we need is more respect for each other and not the name calling we hear from these two. We don't use words like liar and fraud when we are talking about our Prime Minister, who ever he is. We must respect the office if not the man. The liberals are still the same old party that grabbed our money.

Since there would be a higher chance of disagreement over unity, this would inevitably cause more non-confidence votes leading to more unwanted elections at the expense of the taxpayer. The best way for minority parties to be heard is to become more active. We should allow the media to give them the opportunity to get their message across so people know who they are and why they're on the ballot.

FringeNorth, I didn't get a chance to respond to our debate. I come from a rural riding and proportional representation would fail us. First of all, our ridings would be forced to join a conglomerate riding which would be dominated by urban dwellers who don't understand the necessities of rural life. Secondly, the idea of MMP would complicate the development of efficient government mandates. All parties would be pushing for their ideals and this would cause a lack of political consensus.

How typical to have an individual make a statement without any credibility. You don't know me so, in that regard, that makes you a judgemental prick based on the sentiment of your statement. If you want to debate, state your case. Let's leave the name calling out and talk about the issues. IF you can't do that, then don't say anything at all. That is all.

May is RIGHT! Just look at the electorial MAP! How many seats will go to the TRAIGHTOROUS OIL-AMERO sell-out of CANADA party, due to ELECTORIAL SPLITS!!! Liberals, Bloc, Green AND NDP are all essentially PRO-CANADA INDEPENDANCE, and ECO-conscious parties: with various stages of well thought-out programs, MANY IN PLACE! They should not COMPETE, but DESTROY the Texas oligarchy backing HARPER; ONCE & FOR ALL! GET HIP LAYTON- like Mayt says, we don't need a Nader NOW!

You're an idiot, baird. That's all.

You'd be the authority on morons, I take it.

Green party membership, and support nationally, has more than doubled under Elizabeth May's leadership.

Jack Layton is a sellout!!!

May sounds so much better than dion

For starters the Liberals and the Bloc didn't hold a joint press conference and brag about their alliance. Also the Liberals didn't say they would fight for Duceppe in his riding, and Duceppe didn't support Jean Chretien for Prime Minister. I like Elizabeth May, but she make a huge rookie mistake 18 months ago, and she has continued her error ever since by aligning herself with Dion. I'd be really pissed if I were a Green, she's completely undermined the party's independence and credibility.
