A follow up on the Dion/May alliance announced today. Just how far are the Liberals willing to go with their new found principle of strategic voting?
Will the Liberals back down from running a candidate in Edmonton Strathcona, considering their poor showing last time, and the fact that the NDP candidate Linda Duncan is an environmentalist.
Will they also not run a candidate in Wild Rose where the Green Party ran second.
After all that would follow Cherniak's dictum; "This is about the Liberal Party doing what is right for a truly progressive Canada. The symbolism of running a candidate in every riding is somewhat meaningless in comparison."
Dion is not running a Liberal against the Green Party Leader in exchange the Greens won't run against Dion. Oh be still my beating heart like they stood a chance in his riding. Being so principled will he offer the same deal to Layton and Duceppe?
And the cynical could see this whole affair as a hastily constructed way of distracting from yesterdays Liberal bad news story on Belinda Stronach.

The best comment about this mess I have seen so far. Kudos.
I agree with Werner.
Perhaps, after the Liberals lose the next election Dion could step down as leader and join the Green Party. Then He and May could have a torrid affair and after he failed to get elected as a Green candidate he could abruptly quit politics and go to work for his dad!
Cherniak's dictum ... ya, take his word as gospel ... what a joker.
