With polls showing the Conservatives 7 to 8 percentage points ahead of the Liberals, the Tories may want an election now, as it would be within striking distance of winning a majority of seats in Parliament.**********
Before the Liberals decided to withdraw their support from the government, the two parties had been tied in the polls.

"The Conservatives should have a bunch of MPs 'get the flu' the day Iggy puts his NC motion forward. Call his freaking bluff and get this over with."**********
UPDATE: Let the games begin
"Even without seeing today's update, Goodale said, Liberals have already decided that the government deserves defeat."Well, I've gotta say... somebody sure does.
