If it quacks like a duck

Another tedious canard of the current Canadian political clime: the notion that the Liberal party (or any party, for that matter) deserves to be out of power simply because they've governed for a long time, and that the Conservative pary (or any party, for that matter) should continue in office because they've only been in power a short time and deserve further opportunity to show what they can do. By this logic, the New Democratic Party is the most deserving of forming the next government, and one should only oppose a government's policies after they've become so entrenched as to be unrepealable.

Come off it, people. Vote against a government because you don't like their policies, and say so. If you feel the need to disguise your true motivation with an anodyne excuse downplaying the seriousness of your decision, you might perhaps want to examine just why you're so uncomfortable speaking your true mind, and just what you feel so guilty about.
