This is amazing. Conservatives up north are complaining that their impending doom at the hands of a coalition of three major parties is "undemocratic." Now this is politics!

OTTAWA–NDP Leader Jack Layton and Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion have signed an historic accord to form a coalition government to replace Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservatives.

In an extraordinary scene on Parliament Hill late this afternoon, Dion and Layton signed a formal deal to work together through to June, 2011.

And they signed an agreement with Bloc Quebecois Gilles Duceppe that commits the separatist party to support the coalition through to June, 2010.

"We will use all legal means to resist this undemocratic seizure of power," Harper told Conservative MPs and staff gathered at an Ottawa hotel for a Christmas party.

"Such an illegimate government would be a catastrophe for our democracy, our unity and our economy," Harper said, according to his aide Dimitri Soudas.

Harper said that the NDP and Liberals have entered into an "unholy alliance" with the Bloc Quebecois - "a party that is here in Ottawa for no other reason than to destroy the country we all love."

...

Layton said the coalition would move with a stimulus package that is "prompt and prudent."

That plan includes infrastructure spending, home construction, renovations and financial support for "struggling sectors" that can demonstrate a viable business plan.

He urged Harper to accept his looming defeat "gracefully" and not make moves that create "further instability and delay."

1. These fringe conservative parties will ruthlessly go to the end of the Earth to

get what they want.
"We" as a world have to be prepared for their intentional destructive behavior to come.
They are the terrorists.
