NF MP says voting against budget he'd be "as good as out of the party"

Looks like Mr. Harper has a small budget-related problem on his hands, what with Budget votes being confidence matters and all:

MP Fabian Manning says he can do more for the province as a member of the governing Tories than as an independent. He says he lobbied to have non-renewable natural resources removed from the equalization formula, but the decisions are made. Manning told VOCM Back Talk with Bill Rowe, if he votes against the federal budget, he's as good as out of the party.

As I recall, Fabian Manning had the nerve to vote against Premier Williams in the House, but lacks the same when it comes to Harper.

Maybe it's because he thinks Harper is doing more for his constiutents than Williams is, and likes him a little better.

Or maybe getting the nerve to vote for his constituents only comes to Fabian after he's served the minimum number of pensionsable years.
