Silly Little Country

An exercise in subjunctives

Were I Jack Layton, how many people would I want watching my policy convention on the Parliamentary channel?
Were there something better on TV, I would be off there, and not blogging on this rather awful experience.
Were I Jack Layton, I would ask the US Open to start their weekend matches much earlier!
Were there an election, could I stomach voting for a representative of this political party?
Were these guys to look even vaguely electable, I wonder how hard it would be to move to Costa Rica.
Heaven be thanked, I think this is all the subjunctive for contrafactuals.
