Is Michael Ignatieff stupid?

Apparently. Or else he thinks voters are. We've heard this song before, after all. Ignatieff tries to "hold Harper accountable", Harper comes up with a way to seem like he's complying, and Ignatieff claims he's succeeded in doing... something (it's never quite clear what). Continually propping up the Conservatives in return for empty promises is a sign of serious weakness on the part of the Liberal party, and there's nothing to suggest that Harper's promises will be any less empty this time around.

Still, the latter might be right. Maybe voters are stupid enough to fall for this.
