Martin contemplating not contemplating calling an election
South Beach Prime Minister Paul Martin is not thinking of allowing his minority Liberal government to fall soon to force an early election to take advantage of Liberal strength in the polls. Such reports are, apparently, relying on gossip, the uninformed and desperate MPs looking to score a cheap victory. Some Liberals have speculated that given the party's healthy lead over the opposition Conservatives in public opinion polls, it might be worth allowing the government to fall in the autumn, which would trigger an election in late October or November.
Rest assure, not calling an election is his new number priority. Let him be perfectly clear.
