Don't expect the political mating dance to get very far -- we're watching nothing more than political theatre, and a rather amateur performance at that...
Put yourselves in the heads of both Stephen Harper and Jack Layton. Both men are on the same wavelength. These guys are no dummies. They both know that any possible area of compromise between them is minimal, if it is even at all possible.
In other words, the face-saving area where an agreement can be hammered out is quite simply not there on Employment Insurance or any other issue. Both men know that the title of this movie is quite literally, A Bridge Too Far.
Harper and Layton will have to settle for cover that they can take to their respective base: each will claim to have walked the extra mile in search of agreement to "make this Parliament work" and both will blame the other guys. Sound familiar?
