Hard-Left 'Coalition' Dragon Terminated By Conservative Budget Passage
The terrifying Hard-Left monster is dead!
I see Liberal Leader-Unelected Michael "Iggy" Ignatieff is talking big and strutting around as if he's hot shee-it, thinking that acting like predecessor Stephane Dion and saying he "might topple 'em later" will make him look good. We'll see, Iggy... we'll see. Talk is just talk, no matter how big.
Now the Left is again badly fractured, despite Iggy's delusion that the 'coalition' may still be on. I understand Layton and Duceppe would probably like to strangle the man with the weird eyebrows for his betrayal of his comrades-in-stupidity.
I dismiss Iggy's posturing as mere political propaganda signifying nothing. Like hell he wants to have an election in March, or in the summer. But he's bought himself time to attempt to make his mark on the Liberal Party. The question, however, remains whether the Liberals are all onside with him.
And Iggy still hasn't been properly democratically elected as Leader, and this isn't a positive optic for him. I suggest there should still be a Liberal leadership process to verify whether the grassroots Liberals want him at all, for they didn't get to have a say after all. Pity. Liberals, eh?
