I took a course at university many moons ago, called Political Accounting One Oh One

I took a course at university many moons ago, called Political Accounting One Oh One. So please keep that in mind while I take you through my maze of questions I have with the upcoming election. First, Stephen Harper must be realistic and know that at best he can see 14 to 20 seats in Ontario come his way. Alberta will give him two new seats, as Saskatchewan and Manitoba. That means 18 to 24 seats to add to the 99 seats he has now. To beat the Liberals, he has had to make a deal with the Bloc (separatists). He will not win many if any seats in Quebec, unless there is one seat up for the taking in Montreal. Vancouver will not go Conservative more than it is. I see Vancouver going either to the NDP, Greens, or stay with the Liberals. So where will Harper get the majority? If he gets a minority he will not be forming friendships with the NDP. Will he do that with the Liberals? The Bloc? What I see is, if we have an election this spring, we then have another one next spring, with no real government business that is in the least bit substantive, being done for about 2 years, added to the last 2 years of the same.

Ploticial accounting also takes in how things are planned for and actually turn out in the matter of public policy and political policy for getting re-elected.
