What the Liberal Party needs is a rebuild from the bottom up, a fundamental review of its policies, and in particular, its internal relationships and politics. Ignatieff might be the “frontrunner” –even the anointed one –but so was Paul Martin. What they need is a fresh face with fresh ideas and the energy and skills to implement reform –a Canadian Obama.
However, I fear that the Liberals will act in character: they will follow the “front runner” to the precipice, and like lemmings (or is it sheep?) they will go over the top, not realizing that they just elected an English-speaking Stephane Dion.
Mr. Harper, the incumbent, will reinvent himself again –like a chameleon –reflecting the needs of the day. Like Robert Frost, he will have lots of promises to keep –except he won’t.
I hope I am wrong –but then again, I rooted for Dion
