Does anyone really believe Layton wants to topple the gov. over the upcoming budget, or that he really expects to be part of a coalition in three weeks? No, its just about positioning--about diverting blame to the Libs when the budget passes. But the ploy is so transparent even some in his own party are questioning its usefulness.
This is the kind of silly posturing that makes people think: Ah well, its the NDP, they'll say anything because they know they will never come close to power and can never get called on it.

So, you seriously think that Harper will do what he says he'll do? I guess Liberals haven't learned anything over the last three years. Onward to the Harper majority.
He probably already knows that the Liberals will roll over and play dead. Another 6-8 months of Harper picking apart the country and yet another election where the Liberals implode.
Do you really need to see the budget to know it will suck?
Layton's NDP is increasingly irrelevant. Thanks to it's leader, the NDP isn't what it used to be. In fact, the Greens, Libs, Cons, and NDP all fail to represent a sizeable chunk of the electorate.
Leave it to BCL to quote a Tory columnist to support an attack on his own party's coalition partner. Tell me BCL, when are you going to join the Blogging Tories?
Layton's NDP is increasingly irrelevant.
Irrelevant all the way from 13 seats to 37.

By irrelevant, it means that Layton can say he will vote against, before seeing it, with the full knowledge that this decision will have no bearing on anything, that fate rests with others. Actually, this position is a prime example of irrelevance, and the latitude it allows.
