Political Leaders Out Of Their Minds - What Else Is New?

It seems that the leaders of the opposition parties want to bring down the government that we just elected 6 weeks ago. Due to the economic times and the need to be somewhat frugal, Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants to cut the $30 million "payout" that goes to all political parties.

The system works like this - there is some stupid law in place that says that all political parties get paid for each vote they receive. $1.95 per vote is the going rate they get. So, the Bloq Quebecois will receive about $3 million, the NDP $2.5 million, Liberals I'm not sure about, and PC $10 million. Keep in mind this is all tax payer money.

Because the Prime Minister's party has a minority government, the three other parties want to form a coalition and topple the government in a non-confidence vote to get rid of the PC's. I say this is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard. We should not have to have another election again in a few weeks just because the P.M. is excercising caution with tax-payers money. I, for one, do not want my money going to the Liberal, NDP or Bloq parties, because I do not support any of them. I don't vote for them, so why should they get my money. Another election will cost multi-millions of dollars again, when we just finished paying that for the previous election in October.

These guys need to get their heads out of each other's asses long enough to hear what people are saying - NO ELECTION! If you can't raise enough money to cover your election expenses, then too bad for you. Do a better job at getting votes then.
