Corrupt and Unholy alliances

The Canadian government survived a confidence vote by the skin of its teeth today. The corrupt alliance turned back the unholy alliance. I suppose this is better than the alternative. The Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois have no real program for the country together other than to overthrow the Liberal Government. The two ideological enemies came together just to grab power. At least the NDP joined the Liberals to advance progressive policies that really do nothing but bring the Liberals back closer to itself. It seems Conservative Leader Stephen Harper will turn out to be the loser. If he cannot topple the government when the Liberals are at an all time low, can he succeed when the Liberals rebound? Plus, with Belinda Stronach's defection across the aisles bringing discordance within the party to light, one cannot help but ask if that party has any cohesian behind closed doors. Afterall it is an alliance between the Progressive Conservative and the Reform Parties, not because they like or agree with each other, but to take power pure and simple. Will it change name again? Or the Reformers and the Progressive Conservatives will get a divorce after the short marriage? I personally favour a name change: back to the stillborn Canadian Reform Alliance Party!
