Budget Vote: Quiet Confidence

Vancouver Sun Dept: The fact is, if forced into battle as a result of a lost budget vote, there's every possibility the Conservatives would win a majority government, according to Vancouver Sun. Be that as it may, February poll results suggest the stars are aligning in the Conservatives' favour and prime Minister Stephen Harper's declaration this week that he will do no "horse trading" with the Opposition to secure support for his upcoming budget reflects a quiet confidence about a possible spring election. They prefer not to discuss such a scenario lest they alienate middle-of-the-road voters who fear a majority might give Harper licence to impose a right-wing agenda. As reported in the news.
