Update! Politics, Politics, Politics
So, last night was election night in Canada! Well, okay, not Canada, but BC. I don't know why, but I have always enjoyed watching election coverage. Always. Since I was 6 years old! Scary eh? So, last night, I hunkered down on Ralph, my couch, and watched the live coverage. No big surprise, the Liberals are back in for 4 years. The NDP make serious gains, winning in 33 ridings. The Green Party took a hit, a big hit.
You may be wondering how Video Game Boy, or as I like to call him, Mr. Cum Slut, faired. Just to recap, Video Game Boy is a boy I dated back in November who liked to smack around girls in the bedroom. Well, VGB didn't get elected last night, not even close. But, he did come in 3rd in his riding and even beat out the leader of a new party. Slightly scary. I guess we don't really know the people we vote for. Heck, our premier has a drunk driving charge in Hawaii...
On the federal scene, politics are getting interesting. I feel like Parliament Hill should have the postal code 90210. As most of you know, the Liberals and Prime Minister Paul Martin have a minority government, meaning if their budget is not voted through tomorrow, the minority government will be toppled and we will be heading to the polls, again. Oh yeah, and there is a little scandal with the Liberals and some Liberal-friendly advertising firms and millions of dollars. Yesterday's news, Belinda, good old Belinda Stronach defected parties, walked across the floor and joined the Liberals, leaving Stephen Harper and the Conservatives stunned. She effectively changed the numbers so that there will be a tie between the Liberal (and the NDP) and the Conservatives (and the Bloc) during the vote on the budget tomorrow. The state of the country lies with two independent MP's. Two very popular MP's that I am sure are getting wooed as I type this. So exciting! There is so much intrigue, backdoor dealing and name calling. They really should make this stuff into a TV show - oh wait, they have, it is called the news. So, Belinda, she gets a big portfolio to run (Minister of Human Resources) as reward for leaving the Conservatives. Even better though, she has been dating the very sexy Conservative Peter McKay! Can you say lover's spat? Peter was not seen at all on the Hill yesterday. I can't figure out if he is more upset about the defection or all the pictures of Belinda with Bill Clinton! Tune in tomorrow for more of....As The Parliament Turns....
