The political $ySStem is based on moronic behaviour and encourages it at every turn.

We live in a political $ySStem that is ridiculous, insane, and totally fucked, period...although...it COULD be a whole lot worse!

(so we should thank our lucky stars)

Look at it this way. Someday someone else besides the Liberals is bound to win. It will almost surely have to be the Conservatives, right? Who else would it be? We will live through it. If they screw up badly, then they will get pulverized in the next election, as Dave pointed out, and then we will be back to electing Liberals for a lengthy stretch.

Ho Hum.

The sky is not falling yet, Raptor. Face it...someday the Conservatives will win, and Canada will not go up in a puff of smoke and vanish when they do. I can't stand them either, but I'm a realist. They and the Liberals are both a major disappointment, but no one else is going to get elected on a national basis. That's life in Canada.
