A simple choice

Paul Wells rightly points out that regardless of what happens on the impending budget vote, Harper is virtually certain to try to run the next federal election campaign as "a binary choice between Our Lot and That Lot". (Indeed, if I have any quibble with Wells' post, it's with his failure to acknowledge that Harper already spread the same message in the last federal campaign.)

Which raises the question: would the opposition parties prefer to be judged on Harper's puffin-poop-grade caricature of a hypothetical coalition, or on the real results of a cooperative government?

Update: More from Wells.
