    Liberals have officially gone 180 on Afghanistan

    I'm not convinced that the Liberal Party was 100% in support from the beginning, particularly from the back benchers. The Liberals like the other 3 parties in the house, the party leader decides how the rest of the party should vote through the party Whip.

    Venezuela Superthread- Merged

    That should drive up oil prices tommorrow. There are so many troubled regions that it is hard to guess which one is going to be the next conflict. I think that it serves Chavez more when these kind of deals are made public, it affects oil prices, which bring him more money and hurt the U.S at...

    CAN DefMin Doesn't Consider Us At War?

    I don't think anyone bothers with formal declarations of war anymore. When a formal declaration of war come to my mind, it conjures up the the image of empires in the Great War and a "Gentleman's war" I know it's semantics, but it's always been the "War on Terror", but now the MND insists that...

    GG's request to visit Afghanistan denied twice

    Would it be that much larger than the PM's entourage? (Yes I know the exact details are top secret, but generally.) My turn to conjecture: Maybe they care more about the GG more than the PM

    Tories to propose fixed terms for new senators

    I've had a look on wikipedia. It is a very different and interesting system. I like some of the ideas, but would change some of the other though. If/when I do, I will do so when I have more time to make thoughtful arguments. I would have to agree with MCG, in respect to possible stacking. From...
