Mr. Layton said his party has systematically opposed the Tories in confidence votes and will continue to do so. But he pointed out that Mr. Harper can control Parliament if only one party supports him or abstains from voting.
“What effectively has happened is the gift of a majority government has been given by that party (the Liberals) to Mr. Harper.”
“It's going to be very symbolic to watch our members rise in the House — willing to put their jobs, their principles, their commitments on the line — and then to watch the official opposition sit it out.”

Expect little from life and get more from it.
Merge together "lib" and "con", rearrange the letters and toss out the "i" and "n", and you get "bloc". With this simple merger and name change they could run the whole show with nothing in the way but the puny forces of the NDP!
