 Harper ready to ask GG to pull plug Prime Minister Stephen Harper is prepared to ask the Governor General to pull the plug on the minority Parliament and trigger a spring election if the Senate doesn't pass the Harper government's violent-crime bill by March 1.Commentsview comments in forum You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

An attempt to force an election would also violate the constitutional principle of Senate independence, noted Mendes. The Commons has no authority to compel the Senate to pass legislation, he said.
Obviously a LIBRANO hack. I clearly recall from school, a similar impasse in the 30's where an intransigent senate, under the control of a guy called Lansdowne, ammended a bill so outrageously (Lansdowne laundry) that the Commons changed procedure to push it through. If I recall the method is for the returned Bill to be passed three times by the Commons and it bypasses the Senate, and goes for regal assent.
thats right pull the plug... hope the asshole goes down the drain...
Then you would be lonely and have to change your name to Maytag.

At any rate libs like him are good for the conservative party.

That isn't the case at all. That's the case in UK with regards to the Lords, however. Constitutional amendments can bypass the Senate, but a bill must be approved by both houses.
I think it would be very ironic for Harper to violate his own law.* Confidence is the Commons' to give or take, not the Senate's.
*Edit, actually, it probably wouldn't. IIRC it was written so it ended up being a mere suggestion.
