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.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Werner.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, 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.
