Because:<BR/><BR/>1. Harper ran on a false platform (hiding rightwing candidates; focusing on shrill accusations of corruption; <BR/>refusing to be drawn on his basic, core rightwing necon agenda).<BR/><BR/>2. The NDP joined in the chorus, also falsely embellishing the degree of perceived corruption in the Liberal government. Then the Bloc chimed in, chanting corruption corruption ..<BR/><BR/>3. The degree of corruption since disclosed is pitiful, but nowhere near what the troika chanted.<BR/>4. The Martin government ran an appallingly inept campaign, being slow to react, bumbling in concept, and reactive throughout. This gave a false impression of weakness for the Liberal Party.<BR/><BR/>The results were also a false reflection of the true beliefs of Canadian voters. The voters were far more astute than the New Tories, Bloc and NDP parties were: the urbanites checked out Harper, kicked the tires of the New Tories, and decided that the rightwing, anti-pluralist, theocratic tendencies of this new bunch of neocon flat earthers was just a touch too crazy for them, so most did not give Harper their vote.<BR/><BR/>Come the next election, with a new Liberal leader and Harper's Mr Clean image looking more an more sullied with each passing day and each newly surfaced indiscretion, the voters will once more weigh the parties in their balance.<BR/><BR/>Harper is unlikely to get away with the nonsensical stealth campaign he waged in January when faced with one of the nimble footed Liberal candidates.<BR/><BR/>Especially if Bob Rae is elected leader.
