"Coaliton" is coming apart

It didnt take long for the left and extreme left to start smacking each other around and now it's starting to show. It's funny how the Liberals whom in the recent election touted Dion as the next PM, then went about their usual bloddletting to get a new leader. And then when the 'coalition' came up he ws again highlighted as Canada's best PM, and now after his address to the Nation there now looking for a new leader.
It still amazes me that Liberals want to be taken seriously, they want to be seen as Canada's 'natural' ruling party and yet they cant even get a simple video taped address of thier leader to the networks on time. They want to govern Canada, and since they can't they do a deal with the BQ in the hopes of theit taking over, and yet they all seem to want a new leader?
Liberals are in no way ready for any kind of control, they still have not aplogigized to the Canadian people for breaking the law during the Adscam Scandal, they just dont get it. And even now Liberal MP's are jumping ship
Liberals just need to get it through thier heads that they are bad for Canada and the demonizing of Prime Minister Harper is pointless and underlines the fact that they have nothing to offer (Unless you like the green plan of course)

Dont be surpised if a few cross the floor. Liberals have sandbagged themelves this time. Maybe within the Liberal party there are a few who realize what a stupid move this was

The coalition has good reason to come apart. Polls say Canadians don't support them. They made a boo boo. The rats should desert the ship.

And if the Prime Minister’s request had not been acceded to it is clear that, given a choice, the majority (56%) believe the Governor General should have dissolved Parliament and initiated an election rather than accepting the proposal from the newly formed coalition of the Liberal, New Democratic and Bloc Quebecois parties to form the government (38%).

The potential backlash against the Coalition partners is now palpable in the data: if a Federal election were held today it's likely that the Conservatives would reap a very large majority government with 46% of decided voters supporting the Conservatives, compared with 23% for the Liberals, 13% for the NDP, 9% for the Bloc Quebecois (37% in Québec) and 8% for the Green party. Five percent (5%) remain undecided
Globe and Mail Story on recent Ipsos Reid Poll
Most oppose Dion as PM: Sun online survey
And yeah, I saw the poll threads, but this more recent Ipsos Reid one is larger, and more damning than the older one they were talking about. Is this increasing support for the party running against the coalition a trend?

I just read the writing on wall. The Liberal party will need to undertake some serious rebuilding after this fiasco.

Expect another election in the coming months.
