History repeating

Rarely can a single tweet so perfectly sum up the problems with a political party. But according to Michael Geist, the Libs are apparently offering to speed up passage of the Cons' anti-consumer copyright legislation in exchange for...an end to their attack ads on the issue.

So once again, the Libs are eager to trade off substantive policy for only a bare, temporary political gain. And the Cons can respond by launching similarly inaccurate attacks based on their next legislative priority, knowing that they'll serve only to push the Libs to give in once again.

And what's most sad is that as much as it seems that the deal couldn't be any worse for the Libs, you know they'll find some way to accept less.
