Harper speech to UK Parliament ‘not prime ministerial’...
"Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a stop in London to speak to both Houses of Parliament Thursday, one shadow cabinet minister was annoyed by Harper’s partisan tone. John Spellar, the Labour party’s shadow minister for foreign and commonwealth affairs, told iPolitics Friday he found Harper’s address to the members “distinctly partisan,” saying parts of the speech would have been more appropriate for “a meeting of the parliamentary Conservative party.”

Dog, they can't help themselves. When two rightwingers like Cameron and Harper are in the same room, it's handjobs all round.

You do know the Labour Party's political leaning don't you?

A mature, responsible 'Prime Minister' knows the difference between being a politician and a statesman. Harper is not a statesman. The concept is completely beyond his extremely limited, partisan, petty, nasty, short-sighted and ideologically driven abilities.
