Tories Must Pay Ex-Candidate's Bills

Ides of March and all that? (Except it is Julius doing in Brutus.....)

Ah...more examples of Tory goodness and wholesomeness; to one of their own no less.

I wonder when the party will self-destruct?

I will party hearty on that day.

They bought a better candidate and refused to pay for the used one. It was all to be kept under wraps and we wonder if it would have been, had they honored their obligation. They say Alan Riddell opened his mouth before compensation but made no mention of how long he must wait to receive it. All parties use these same rules. Shut up and you'll get compensation. No point for the public to be aware of the details.

Expect little from life and get more from it.

"I wonder when the party will self-destruct?" <br><br> All I see are political parties doing the self-destruct thing over and over and I have to wonder how many times can a political party self-destruct before it's permanently dead? Unfortunately there appears to be no low that's low enough to kill these horrid beasts. <br><br> In Canada, all you need is a vote of 1 to 0 to win an election, so it all just boils down to who can muster up enough votes in your favor. No matter how much of a loser you are, so long as your opponents are no better losers, you can still be a winner. <br><br> Take the current "new" government for example, it managed to still "win" despite <u>not</u> winning 77% of the eligible votes. <br><br> Worse yet, a so-called "minority government" with almost no public support can always try and buy out enough of the opposition to become a "majority government" with almost no public support. <br><br> So there you have it, even a massive loser can still be a big winner as far as Canadian politics is concerned.
