NDP ready to topple minority government

TORONTO (Reuters) - New Democratic Party said on Monday it was no longer willing to prop up the minority Liberal government, raising the chances of an early election.

"We cannot express confidence in a government that is under the leadership of a party that cannot be trusted to clean up the politics that it tainted," NDP leader Jack Layton said in a nationally televised speech.

The leftist New Democrats have been the only group keeping the minority Liberal government in power. If they join forces with the larger Conservative and Bloc Quebecois opposition parties, which have already signaled their willingness to bring the Liberals down, the government would fall as soon as there is a confidence vote.

An early election would be a complete waste of taxpayer money, because there's no party right now that would beat the Liberals.

I'll take the Liberals over Harper et al. any day of the week. I can't stand that prick. There is no real alternative in my mind.

I generally vote NDP. It generally doesn't make a difference.
