Perhaps someone should mention to Michael Ignatieff that it's easier to keep a close eye on the Conservatives if you're actually in the same room as they are.
I don't think the numbers are quite as bad as they were during Dion's time at the helm but the trend doesn't look that good.
H/t to JanfromtheBruce.
"And when Liberal MPs did show up, they voted the same way as the Conservatives 79 per cent of the time."
If the question is are we better off with them attending Parliament or without them attending Parliament - the answer seems to be .... "Hard to tell, there is no difference."
Sounds to me like more evidence that the coalition government continues to function smoothly. The Con-Lib coalition, I mean.
"Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition" appears to be too busy supporting the government and playing hooky to do its job.
thanks pogge, I'm thinking along RD's comments - aren't coalitions lovely when they are the lib/con variety?
