4. More Harper hypocrisy

The man's hypocrisy is breath-taking.

His democratic renewal was to include more power for all MPs, even back-benchers. That was a fundamental plank of the Reform Party platform, and the Conservative Party promised to stick to that. His election platform prominently featured democratic renewal, and criticized the Liberals for being insufficiently sensitive to MPs.

Now, even cabinet ministers have to ask teacher if they can speak. Chretien was accused of being a bit autocratic, but he didn't do this.
