Wanted: a strong leader -- another take

Yesterday I wrote that the Liberals are in dire need of a strong leader. Since the other parties have such, it's a pity the Grits can't find someone with perceived strength and leadership ability to do battle with Mr. Harpoon. Iggy just doesn't cut the mustard.

Today's Globe and Mail has a fine column by Lawrence Martin, "How ‘Iffy' and the Liberals dropped the ball". You should read it.

"Iffy"... I wish I'd thought of that soubriquet. I love it!

Someone has asked who I think should lead the Liberals, if not the Iggster. Frankly I can't think of anyone. What a pity Gilles Duceppe isn't a Liberal.

  1. Will Rogers once said that he did not belong to any organized political party, he was a Democrat. The same may be said about the Liberal Party of Canada. The Liberal Party of Canada needs to reinvent themselves by finding a strong charismatic leader that is not linked to any faction, setting out an election platform and sticking to the issues set out in the platform. Local candidates need be elected by local riding associations and be well versed in local issues. Star candidates should be residents of the riding and not parachuted in with a post office box number or local riding office as their address. (from Gallouche)
