The results of the 2011 election were in many ways a continuation of a trend: a steady rapping of the Liberal knuckles by dissatisfied voters over the course of 3 elections.
Hope versus reality
And yet after each election loss, Liberals repreated the same errors, preferring to rely on hope rather than to practise politics the way that the brutal Westminster style parliamentary system, with its periodic elections and party system, requires.
Voters held their noses and walked over to the Conservatives; others decided to give another non-Tory party a chance and voted for Layton's promise to fix the broken Parliament; while others did what they had done before and stayed home, ignoring Liberal pleas for them to take a few minutes out of their comfortable routine to cast their votes.
