Liberals could still govern if Harper WINS minority: Ignatieff

Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, said that he would be willing to form a Government under parliamentary rules if Stephen Harper wins the most seats in the election but not unable to win the confidence of the House of Commons.

"If"the Governor wants to call on other parties, or myself, for example, to try and form a Government, then we attempt to form a Government, Ignatieff said Peter Mansbridge for CBC in an interview exclusive Tuesday afternoon."

"This is exactly how the work rules and what I'm trying to say Canadians is, I understand the rules, I respect the rules, I will follow them to the letter and I'm not going to form a coalition.". This I am ready to do so is to speak to Mr. Duceppe and Mr. Layton or even Mr. Harper and say, "we have a problem and here's the plan I want to put before the Parliament, it is the budget I would bring in ' and then 'We take from there. ?

The statement is that the nearest Ignatieff has come to describe how he could become Prime Minister since his first day of the campaign to renounce a coalition with the NDP and the Bloc Québécois.

Ignatieff, who had signed to form a coalition with the NDP supported the block when then-Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion had worked a deal three years ago, says Mansbridge that he later rejected the idea because it was not in the interest of Canadians.

"I could be sitting here and talking to you as Prime Minister and chose not to do that because I felt that it was not in the national interest," he said. "If I have dismissed the coalition in 2008 and I went into this election firmly in 2011 excluding the coalition."

"Mr. Harper had a coalition in 2004 with Mr. Duceppe and Mr. Layton discussions." Not me. ?

Shortly after the interview, the Tories back shot, issuing a statement which said Ignatieff "clearly." it is his agenda to become Prime Minister, even if he loses the election

"Michael Ignatieff ambition to be Prime Minister outweighs everything: our economic recovery, what is best for families, and even how Canadians vote,"said conservatives."."

Ignatieff has also denied he has started a negative campaign against Harper, saying that the question boils down to whether if you can trust the Conservative leader with the authority. The Liberals were forced to modify an anti-Harper announces attack on health care, after it was determined that a quotation has been attributed incorrectly to Harper.

"I think we must be very difficult, I believe that we have to frame the issues. I think that Canadians want to know what choices on 2 may, "Ignatieff said advertisements that his party is running."

"We believe that a strong campaign here is essential."

Pressed Mansbridge Ignatieff on some of the announcements of campaign, the Liberals are running, more specifically those who say Stephen Harper wants to "absolute power".

Ignatieff said Harper closes Parliament twice and held contempt of Parliament. He said that the important issue of the campaign is: "can you trust this guy with power."

"If you can not trust this man with democracy, you can be trusted with anything else," said Ignatieff.

Foundation of the Ignatieff with Mansbridge discussion is part of a series of one-on-one interviews with the leaders of the party. Harper accepted an interview at a time that has yet to be determined.

At the interview, Ignatieff rid of similarities that platform of his party may have with the NDP, saying that, unlike the Liberals table cost the NDP does not add.

But the NDP was quick to offer a rebuttal, saying their platform is not encrypted only, but also third validated.

"Unlike the platform Liberals, it is not making promises non-encrypted several billion dollars (e.g., payment of HST at Quebec, prescription drugs, high speed rail), or it does not ignore two years," the Democrats said in a statement.

"And unlike the Conservatives, it contains no reductions unidentified 11 billion from $.".
