Back Off Jack!

I believe Jack Layton is part of this coalition to further his desire to be Prime minister of Canada. This coalition he is a part of may have a place in the constitutional possibility of government in this country, but it has no place in our traditions. We voted, your party didn't win, leave them alone or topple the government, don't go slinking around the back door and place all this pressure on an appointed official, the Governor general. Maybe, Mr. Layton should get a taste of his own medicine.

I live in Jack Layton's riding and this is how things came out, from the official elections Canada website:

    Layton, Jack NDP 20,416
    Lang, Andrew LIB 13,291
    Howarth, Sharon GRN 5,934
    Perreault, Christina CON 5,274
    Crawford, Marie AAEV177
    Richardson, John ind 129
    Rodden, Marcell M-L 98
    Yazdanfar, Bahman CAP55

you can easily see that Mr. Layton though winning a substantial portion of the vote, did not win the majority in his riding, unlike the other leaders who I believe, all won with landslides. I would like my local Liberal, Conservative and Green party candidates to draft a coalition agreement to share Mr. Layton's seat. We'll see how he likes these types of antics and whether he feels its fair.
