This is getting interesting. After booting MP Bill Casey from caucus for daring to vote against the budget; and subsequently cutting a side deal with Nova Scotia, we find Harper playing hardline dictator within his own party.
Late last week, Casey's riding executive stepped forward in support of Casey - essentially looking for a reconciliation between the MP and government caucus. Instead of internally (and quietly) backing down, we find Harper suspending the riding executive from their duties as well.
Yes, I realize that party discipline is important - but that doesn't make the party leader its dictator either. Good leadership knows when to back down and quietly accept that it made a mistake. Harper doesn't.
