The political reason was simplicity itself: the Democratic party realized that it wasn't going to win back a majority in either house of Congress if it didn't stop talking about gun control. The party's leaders looked at the political map after the 2004 election, a sea of Republican red with a narrow strip of Democratic blue on either coast, and realized that their problem was more than just George W. Bush's fatal charm. They weren't winning in "heartland" states because they were seen as trying to take Americans' guns away. The campaign manifesto of the new Democratic senator from Montana, Jon Tester, claimed that he would "stand up to anyone -- Republican or Democratic -- who tries to take away Montanans' gun rights." The new Democratic governor of Montana, Brian Schweizer, says that ...
In contrast to the presidential/congressional model, where the president's mandate comes directly from the people, as does that of Congress, voters in parliamentary democracies do not elect either a government or a prime minister. They elect a popular house, "the peoples' house of parliament," Russell said. And the licence to govern rests in "commanding the confidence" of that house. Russell's statistics tell the tale. Canada has had 14 "majority" governments out of 27 elected since 1921. Only three were genuine, that is, chosen by over 50 per cent of Canadians. Even given first past the post's tendency to reward regional concentrations of political support, fully 13 of Canada's 27 federal governments since 1921 have had to depend on one or more opposition parties -- usually briefly --...

The campaign may be considered edgy by the granola-belt crowd, but it's pretty tame stuff when compared with the sheer nastiness of the political advertisements generated by the Conservative government. [Stephen Harper] and the Tories have set the standard for edgy, visceral political advertising. They are not likely to be shaken by the sound of a child's voice. Not even a creepy one. The Tory character assassins have, for several months now, used television advertisements and mass mailings to frame Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff as a wildly ambitious, arrogant and reckless interloper whose patriotism is in question. That's an odd way of describing a man who wants power just as much as Harper does, who has travelled more extensively than the prime minister, who is internationally bett...
