The Conservatives are constantly accused of playing wedge politics, yet the Liberals seem to be getting a free pass for doing the same thing. This is the same motion brought up twice, why the second time has never been made clear, other then to score political points from the tragedy in Quebec. The latest polls show the Liberals in front of the Conservatives by 5 points, which is a good indicator of how far the Liberals have fallen. This motion will do little to redeem their fortunes, and the longer it stays around the more divisive it has become. Media reporters see this as a typical political strategy of changing the channel when under fire. The stories of cash for access are gone, the electoral reform failure is gone, the investigation of the PM is gone, all  replaced by the focus on simple motion. This has the potential to carry on up to March and then it's the budget.The Liberals need to provide some optimism in this budget, otherwise the numbers will continue to fall.
