Paul Martin says that he will hold an election 30 days after Gomery's report, which would mean January. The Cons/Bloc wants the election in June. So the question is not whether or not to have an election (and it's associated costs), but when to have one, either now or 6 months from now. 6 months is a very short time in politics. Hell, they usually have all the summer off for vacation. If you wait until January, you give the Liberals 6 months to buy our votes (latest : 5 billion for Ontario )+ the government being held hostage to demands for every songle vote, such as invading Sudan to get David Kilgour's vote (I do think intervening in the Sudan is a good idea, but it should be a well thought out, planned part of government policy not just a desperation grab the vote idea)....in non-political matters, my ultimate frisbee team is 2-0 in playoff games that I have missed, so maybe I shouldn't go o the final game tonoght.
