Plutocracy .... government controlled by money.

Democracy only exists as a fancy meaningless word because government seldom represents the will of the people.

I'm an NDP supporter and I believe in people ... neither the Liberals or the Conservatives will ever have the people's interest at heart.

At least they are consistent.

Total speculation on my part - the Liberals are terrified of the polling numbers and the NDP have been a little more aggressive with their criticisms of the Liberals that the Liberals are worried the NDP will drop their support and we'll have a spring election. By dragging their feet on these NDP priorities they're trying to keep the NDP from withdrawing support.
