- John Ivison: God give us a majority, of any stripe
-
When the House of Commons degenerates into the politics of the sandbox, it is helpful to remember that there have always been days like these. In his valedictory address in 2000, former Canadian Alliance MP Lee Morrison said that he wouldn’t regret leaving what he called a “totally dysfunctional institution”.
“I will not miss the thrill of making a well-researched speech in a virtually empty room. I will not miss long hours on irrelevant ministerial-guided committees. I will not miss the posturing,” he said.
Yet, even for jaded, long-time observers of the House of Commons, the current antics are disturbing - perhaps because all the party leaders have so recently pledged to make Parliament work. On the contrary, the nation’s assembly is guided more than ever by tribal prejudice, at the expense of the general good.
