Surely Stephen Harper must be dancing with joy as he is in majority territory. Michael Ignatieff's pathetic performance has brought his approval rating below 20% and the Liberal Party is 14% behind the Cons. Is there anything Ignatieff can do to change his fortunes and that of his party? Will people forget his views on Tar Sands and the Middle East and unconditional support of Israel's actions in Gaza in December 2008? The US is supposed to be much closer to Israel yet even Barack Obama did not give that kind of support. Liberals are supposed to be liberals and that is why Chretien refused to participate in the Iraq War. Ignatieff has too much baggage already and he is not Prime Minister yet.
I really don't know what more can be said on this issue. Liberals and Michael Ignatieff have to think, what next? Should Ignatieff go back to his academic world and let politicians lead the party? Those are the questions that the Liberal Party and Ignatieff have to think about.
There were Liberal members warning about Iggy a long long time ago.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what Liberal Caucus was thinking when they appointed him leader.
