It is good to speak up if a matter is truly misguided. It is not good to speak up if it needs all our support. So either the Bloc is doing a very difficult, good and brave thing or a very easy, foolish and bad thing.
Oddly, days ago people were convinced they would not try to force any issue on an election for fear of losing seats. Surely they cannot be playing politics by doing the opposite.

How about a very brave, foolish, bad thing?

Spot the romantic Victorian with the eduction in Russian history!<p>That could be. I have plenty of regard for Mr. Duceppe though I think his cause is flawed. Maybe he is thinking that a cause you cannot put to the test is not worth holding seats it cannot earn.

Funnily enough, I rather suspect his fellow leaders in Parliament feel similarly about Duceppe.
I think he believes he is right on Afghanistan. (He also probably doesn't mind baiting a trap for Stephane Dion...)
I think he's terribly, terribly wrong on this one, of course.

He might be speaking in code for getting NATO to pull its weight, however.
