That's not surprising, though. Blaming a newly elected socialist government for all the country's faults. It's just a scare tactic. This happened in Quebec recently when the Parti Québécois (quite the varied political party, but at the time center left) was elected, after 9 years of Liberal government. The PQ was blamed by the liberals for everything and anything, but the PQ had just been in power some months in a whole decade.
Turns out the scare tactic worked, even pushed the Premier to hold elections prematurely, and government returned to Liberals.
- irixusr 11y agoYes I remember it. But the PQ hardly did itself any favors.
- chm 11y agoI don't think they were any worse than the Liberals, especially given the time they had. Granted, Mme Marois had some PR troubles. It's just too easy to say that "socialists will crash the economy, they have no idea what they're doing" when clearly nobody has any idea what they're doing.
