153-152

The Liberals have survived a confidence vote by a squeaker today (as predicted by seismicdeath Tuesday, May 17, 2005). One vote by the speaker saved the government to survive until a further confidence vote. 153 to 152. It is too bad that it did not go into sudden death!

If Belinda had not been turned to the dark side, the Liberal Empire would have fallen. A truly dark day in the history of Canadian politics.
