I too used to think there was some potential in the Reform party until I
realized that they are actually worse off than the rest of the lot. Unlike
other political groups that tend to be whiny, self-contradicting, overly
critical, and counter-productive, I have found that the Reform part is a
self-contradicting, overly critical, and counter-productive party that
furthermore lacks any experience. 

When I listened to Manning's whiny mezzo-soprano voice yelping at the
liberals during the referendum, asking for resignations, and basically
disagreeing with anything that could bring him press - I realized that the
Reform party is nothing new. People seem mesmerized by Manning and his
ability to cut up everybody. Me? I'd rather a team player in opposition.
You show me a leader of the opposition that makes the best of his/her
relationship with the party in power, and collaborates on efforts, while
trying to get his/her (differing) viewpoint across - and _then_ I'll think
about voting for him/her (aughgh - need a new pronoun). Meanwhile, I'll
continue to watch critics that spend 23 hours a day trying to pick apart
everything they hear, destroying the political process, and weakening
society's faith in politics.
