the Liberals would have been under pressure to fulfill the budget, if Wynn failed then Horvath would have been to campaign on that. As it now stands the Liberals have no pressure whasoever on them. The only reason why Horvath did what she did is that it Wynn was planting herself left of centre, in oather words in Horvath's territory so Horvath saw this as a way to block that move at the expense of everyone in Ontario.
