If you lean too far to either side you will fall. On the left we have the "socialists" (NDP) and on the right we have the "nazis" (Conservatives). Both of these parties are only concerned with their own agendas and not at all running the country (keeping the bicycle from tipping). In all the years Liberals have had power considering Trudeau and Chretien, I don't recall any "agenda" being pushed or pointed out by their opposition. They reduced the deficit without declaring their agenda is to reduce the size of government (at any cost) like the Republican Tea Party down south. The Conservatives on the other hand make these declarations, but there is no reason given behind it (probably because they are afraid what people will think if they really knew). This is the nature of agenda. Politics is like riding a bicycle. If you lean too far to either side you will fall.
