Dion leaving door open for election?

Dion's statement just set up the game for the vote on the Throne Speech.
"If we have a very right-wing, radical Throne Speech, then it will be different. We'll see if the conciliatory tone of Mr. Harper - the last reincarnation of Mr. Harper - is the real one, and not the very aggressive one we have seen a week ago, when he said everything would be a vote of confidence and so on," he said on CTV's Question Period.
It's not telling us exactly how he's going to vote... I doubt they even know. They've been saying they won't vote it down, but now, if they do, they've positioned themselves to fight if they do... they're saying that if they do vote it down, it's because it's a "Scary radical ultra-right-wing document"

I dunno, but my reading of that statement says the chances for a Fall election just WENT UP, not down...

    Regardless of what the Throne Speech says, Dion will label it as a very right-wing radical document.

    Because Dion has ideological blinders on so that EVERYTHING Harper does/says is 'scary ultra right wing radical'.

    And I agree, I think he's going to vote it down.

    Right wing is scary, because we all know right wing means George Bush. So paint everything the CPC does with Bush paint. Some people will believe it.

    Nah we're not going, (I hope not!!) The LPC is in the middle of an uprising, the CPC is in the 40% range, LPC MP's don't want to lose their jobs. However if the backroom boys and girls betray Dion by saying one thing and doing another...then we go...

    I find it so ridiculous that press are pressing the opposition parties to say how their going to vote - absolutely stupid.

    Would you sign a contract without reading it first?

    Harper's polls are dropping again.

    We don't need an election at the cost of $300 million to taxpayers for a similar result.

    I'm election fatiqued - 2006 Federal Election, our local municipal election, provincial election.

    Enough already - why let Harper squirm out of some possible volatile issues soon.

    Harper's polls are dropping again.

    Only if you compare this Strategic Counsel poll (for the Globe and Mail, which means that for all intents and purposes it's an external Liberal Party poll) with the Ipsos-Reid poll. Compare it with the previous Strategic Counsel poll and Harper's in better shape, not worse (in other words, the overall trend is in favour of the Tories and not the Grits). And, if you really don't happen to know why it's misleading to compare a poll from Firm #1 to a poll from Firm #2 (each firm has its own built-in idiosyncracies, flaws, uncertainties, biases, levels of competence, etc), then you have my sympathy.
